Victoria Police are conducting a planned multi-agency training exercise at the Dandenong Ranges National Park in Silvan on Thursday 21 July.
The training will be held between 8:00am and 2:00pm, and witnesses should not be alarmed by emergency service vehicles and personnel in the area.
The park will remain open during the exercise so visitors are asked to be mindful of emergency service crews throughout the public trails and surrounds.
