Renewal works begin in Torquay

Key points

• Surf Coast Shire Council has started resurfacing Fischer Street in central Torquay, between Beach Road and Zeally Bay Road, alongside Taylor Park. Councillor Phoebe Crockett said the work is funded through the council's 2026-27 asset renewal budget and aims to improve ageing roads.
• Traffic detours will stay in place until the works finish in December. Sections of Pearl Street, Bristol Road, Cliff Street, Walker Street and Boston Road will also be resurfaced this financial year.
• The works represent a $755,000 investment.
