Gipps Street bridge replacement project

Moyne Shire Council is progressing the Gipps Street Bridge Replacement Project to deliver a safe, reliable and accessible crossing that meets current engineering, transport and flood resilience standards while supporting the long-term needs of the Port Fairy community.

Jointly funded through a $5 million Australian Government contribution and a $2.76 million Council investment, the project will replace the existing bridge with a modern structure that provides two-way vehicle access, improved pedestrian facilities, safer cycling connections and accommodation for critical water infrastructure.

Significant planning and preparatory work has been completed, including flood modelling, environmental and geotechnical assessments, stakeholder engagement, utility planning and approvals processes.

Following a competitive procurement process, contracts have now been awarded, marking a major milestone in the project’s delivery. Community feedback has helped shape the concept design and will continue to inform future project phases as Council progresses detailed design, construction planning and ongoing engagement with residents, businesses and stakeholders.
