Fishermans Beach, Torquay
About this page
The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee is planning major improvements for Torquay's Fishermans Beach precinct.
The Fishermans Beach redevelopment will deliver a brand new, purpose-built community, tourism and recreation facility on the Torquay foreshore, which is expected to become a major beachfront drawcard for locals and visitors alike.
The project includes:
The redevelopment will replace existing facilities at the site, which are inadequate and in relatively poor condition, and deliver a range of economic, social and environmental benefits.
It will support the Torquay Marine Rescue Service in delivering vital volunteer rescue services and provide better facilities to support recreational fishing. The establishment of a seaside restaurant with ocean views will serve Torquay's growing residential and visitor populations while delivering new jobs and economic growth. The facility's design addresses environmental factors, including the sensitivity of its coastal location, and features passive solar design, energy efficiency, rainwater storage and greywater recycling.
