Landslip Repair Works: Great Ocean Road, Fairhaven (near Lialeeta Road)
UPDATE 9 July - Further cracks and gaps in the landslip area on the corner of Great Ocean Road and Lialeeta Road have widened, and debris has fallen to the footpath below. This indicates ongoing ground movement and and potential instability.
Please keep clear of this area.
Further works starting 10 July
We are currently organising for the footpath on the west side of the Grant Ocean Road to be closed with water filled barriers and all pedestrians will be directed across to the east side of the road.
For pedestrian safety, speed will be temporarily reduced to 40 km/h along this section of the Great Ocean Road.

We're responding to erosion and damage along the embankment near the recently installed underground pit and pipe section on the Great Ocean Road, just west of the Painkalac Creek Bridge.
A void has also formed next to a grated pit on the northern side of the road.
Further cracks and gaps have been identified along the embankment east of Lialeeta Road, indicating some movement and potential instability in the area. Please keep clear.
What we're doing now (work to start 2 July):
- Installing temporary fencing along the footpath (east of the bus stop) to keep pedestrians safe. At least 1.2 metres of the path will remain open for access.
- Cleaning up gravel and sediment that has washed onto the path.
- Filling in the void next to the pit.
Next steps:
The fencing will remain in place, while we develop plans for a longer term solution, including revegetation of the embankment.
