The Torquay Rotary Motor Show invited residents and visitors back to Elephant Walk for the annual community fundraiser with perfect weather ...

Just a reminder regarding getting to tomorrow's show. Come and enjoy the cars in the sun.

The time has come for us to return Surf Coast Highway back to its original alignment.

To do this safely, the highway will be closed between the level crossing and Baanip Boulevard from 9:30am Friday 9 February to 6:00am Thursday 7 March.

During this time, we'll also be finishing drainage works and installing pic perf panels on the bridge featuring a design by Wadawurrung Traditional Owner and Artist Billy-Jay O'Toole.

If you travel along this roadway, please allow 20 -30 minutes extra time for travel. Multiple detours will be in place with road signs for drivers.

Please plan ahead and follow all road safety signage.

~ VALE ~
GREG PLUMRIDGE
Husband, Father, Brother and Friend to many. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Helen, Zac & family at this sad time.
Greg was the epitome of a Rotarian, contributing so much to our Club - he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Rest In Peace Greg🔹🔸

Some will know, some probably don’t, but after a long battle with heath issues, Greg passed away at home, with his family by his side, early Boxing Day.

To be honest I’ve been trying to type something meaningful for hours. There just aren’t words. We miss you mate.

Greg’s funeral will be held on Friday the 20th January 2023
2pm
Tuckers Funeral Services
4-32 Province Blvde Highton
