Great Ocean Road Real Estate have gone through a massive “makeover” and re-developed an exciting fully interactive website, featuring interactive Google satellite imaging and hybrid mapping.

From the Great Ocean Road Real Estate site browsers can view the entire GORRE inventory. Or, via the menu go to the GORRE Lorne, Apollo Bay, Aireys Inlet, Torquay, plus the Great Ocean Road Holidays and Project Marketing sites.

This now gives subscribers a broader choice of information they wish to receive from GORRE. This information can be delivered via email or RSS feed.

You now have the option of receiving the entire GORRE portfolio or only from the areas that suit you – the choice is yours.

As a previous subscriber to Aireys Inlet, we have placed you on this mailing list. If you would like to receive information from any other office, please notify us and we’ll sign you up.

Subscribers can now receive News, New property Listings or rental/lease listings.

Take a look yourself, at our GREAT new website Great Ocean Road Real Estate.

What is a RSS feed?

A “feed” is a summary of Web content that is updated on a regular basis. It is a way for users to keep informed of a Web site’s latest changes. The feed format that GORRE uses is Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 2.0.

Feeds help GORRE make content more accessible, and they allow you to easily see new content. A summary or “headline” view lets you quickly scan recent content changes, and headlines are linked to their appropriate content.

How to subscribe to a feed
Before you subscribe to a feed, you’ll need an RSS reader or aggregator to view content in RSS. Several free and commercial RSS readers are available on the Internet. Once you have an RSS reader, simply right-click on an RSS link, copy the URL, and paste it into your reader to display the content in RSS.

The GORRE Discussion and Announcement Boards are places where content is changing on a regular basis. To make it easy for you to see recent changes and updates on these sites and boards, you can view their content in RSS.

The Geelong Ring Road is nearing completion. A small overpass at the Waurn Ponds end that connects onto the Old Geelong Road is all that is left to finish.

This is set to make a huge impact on the Surfcoast region. Dependent on your point of view locals may argue that the environmental damage and change in culture can only harm the area. And others will argue that it will provide jobs and a higher education system. The debate will go on for a long time.

But one thing is certain, the ring road is here.

The Geelong Ring Road will provide greater connectivity to some of Victoria’s most popular tourist destinations including the Great Ocean Road. If you are a regular traveler to or from Melbourne then you can eliminate 29 sets of traffic lights thereby reducing your travel time by around 10-15 minutes.

Tourism studies have an estimated 300,000 people visiting the region each year, injecting between $15 – $19 million dollars thus creating 1,400 permanent jobs per annum.

How will the ring road affect real estate?

Surf Coast Shire is expected to grow significantly, with most of this growth occurring in Surf Coast East.

The Economic and Land Use Impacts of the Geelong Ring Road (2009) is a new report that examines likely growth areas as a result of the development of the Ring Road and the duplication and upgrade of Princes Highway West. Funded by the City of Greater Geelong, G21, the Committee for Geelong and RDV, the report will inform Council and agency planning processes for services and infrastructure.

Released three weeks ago, the report shows how the Ring Road and Princes Highway Upgrade are expected to increase the region’s population, industry and employment opportunities, and how this is likely to impact on the region’s land use requirements. It also presents specific recommendations on how the region can make the most of the opportunities that these important pieces of infrastructure present.

The information provided may affect land rezoning and help target investment attraction efforts. The report will also help us understand which businesses are likely to relocate because of the infrastructure improvements. This may well result in freeing up of some large sites with redevelopment potential for more valuable uses.
