Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) has unveiled its multi-million-dollar expansion plan for Inverloch Resort that is expected to inject an estimated $6.5 million annually into the local economy.
An additional 36 premium rooms will be introduced as part of a new two-level wing to allow the facility to welcome up to 20,000 additional guests annually. Floor-to-ceiling windows will give guests panoramic ocean views, while the bold design by architect firm GHD will be built using sustainable materials and native vegetation.
“With regional tourism booming post-pandemic, these new premium rooms will help address a significant market gap while elevating Inverloch’s status as a premium destination,” RACV executive general manager leisure Craig Peachey said.
According to RACV, the expansion will specifically target three underserved markets segments: the conference and events sector, travellers seeking premium coastal accommodations, and family groups requiring flexible room configurations.
Located just 90 minutes from Melbourne, the expanded 4.5-star RACV Inverloch Resort will serve as a gateway to Victoria’s emerging coastal experiences, including the newly established Yallock-Bullock Coastal Park and Bunurong Marine Park.
With construction now underway, the new wing is expected to welcome its first guests by December 2026.
RACV’s position as Victoria’s leading accommodation provider has been reinforced after it claimed multiple awards at the recent 2025 Victorian Accommodation Awards for Excellence, including a third consecutive win for its RACV Torquay Resort’s meetings and events facilities.
