REGIONAL Roads Victoria is working closely with the City of Greater Geelong on plans to improve an unsealed parking area on Murradoc Road at St Leonards.<\/p>\n
Chief regional roads officer Paul Northey said they were currently in the process of finalising designs with the council to ensure all works were properly integrated so they could deliver the best\u00a0outcome for the local community.<\/p>\n
Regional Roads Victoria recently met with representatives from the St Leonards Beautification Committee to provide an update on progress on the project to seal the parking area and install kerb and channel outside shops near the intersection of Murradoc Road and Blanche Street.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re working closely\/in partnership with Council to finalise an integrated design for the road surface, and new kerb and channel,\u201d Mr Northey said. \u201cOnce those works are complete, we will then undertake the more extensive asphalting and sealing works along Murradoc Road to provide drivers with a smoother and safer surface.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is expected this project will be delivered before the end of the financial year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will keep the community updated as the project progresses through each stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Northey said in addition, RRV would carry out asphalt repairs to the intersection of Murradoc Road and Portarlington-Queenscliff Road, and asphalting works on Murradoc Road west of Bluff Road.<\/p>\n
St Leonards Beautification Committee Convenor Denis O’Bryan welcomed the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now have the designs, half the money, the contractor and a commitment for early completion,\u201d Mr O\u2019Bryan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor St Leonards ratepayers, this job will\u00a0finally mean a cure for one of our very public, long-overdue open wounds and will be a big return for a minor cost..\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mr O\u2019Bryan said he wanted to thank Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville for her strong and continuing support and VicRoads for their generous offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
