Council to act on Andersons Road

The City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) has told DCSCA that it intends to extend Peninsula Drive to Belchers Road in Drysdale and to link this project with the construction of the sports centre and of the Drysdale bypass.

This very good news follows DCSCA's request that the council extend Peninsula Drive through to Belcher’s Road as a matter of urgency, to reduce traffic congestion and safety risks and to increase access by emergency services vehicles to the nearby schools precinct.

DCSCA's request reinforces a similar request to CoGG by Vic Roads. DCSCA had also asked that the works be completed prior to the start of construction of the Drysdale bypass.

CoGG has said that the Peninsula Drive project will depend on funding being available and that the council is examining various options to ensure completion "in a timely manner".
