Kane Constructions has completed the Twelve Apostles Precinct Redevelopment for Development Victoria, delivering a major new visitor destination along Victoria's iconic Great Ocean Road.
The project forms part of the $126 million redevelopment, designed to enhance the visitor experience, support sustainable tourism and celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of the Shipwreck Coast.
At the heart of the redevelopment is the 3,300m² Keerray Woorroong Visitor Centre, designed by Grimshaw in collaboration with WSP & Aspect Studios. The building features a distinctive rammed-earth façade constructed using approximately 1,500 tonnes of regionally sourced rock, reflecting the surrounding coastal landscape.
The new centre includes a 230-seat café, kiosk, exhibition and gallery spaces, visitor information facilities and a rooftop lookout. Surrounding works include the Welcome Garden, native landscaping, pedestrian pathways, upgraded road infrastructure and expanded car parking.
Delivered and co-designed with the Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation, the precinct incorporates cultural interpretation, artwork and landscape features that celebrate the enduring connection of the Eastern Maar people to Country.
The redevelopment provides modern, accessible visitor facilities while protecting the region's environmental and cultural values and supporting the local economy.
Funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments through the Geelong City Deal, the precinct will be operated by the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority.
The project reached practical completion in October 2026.
