Yarra Ranges Council (YRC) has completed its roadside storm debris cleanup program in the Upwey-Belgrave area to remove fallen trees and branches by roadsides that came down during February’s storm event. Emergency Recovery Victoria (ERV) also stepped in to lend a hand to help clear the debris.
There are still low-risk damaged trees remaining that will be inspected and worked on if required.
While YRC remains clear that it cannot provide private property cleanup, residents who still need to clear their properties can do so by:
Taking their green waste caused by the storm to any of the below transfer stations, free of charge until 30 April.
Coldstream Transfer Station, Ingram Road and Leonard Road, Coldstream. Open 7 days a week.
Wesburn Transfer Station, 689 Old Warburton Road, Wesburn. Open Friday to Monday.
Lysterfield Transfer Station, 840 Wellington Road, Lysterfield. Accepting storm waste 8am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 11.30am Saturday to Sunday.
Contacting Emergency Relief Victoria (ERV) to have their property assessed for hazardous tree removal.
Impacted residents can call their hotline on 1800 560 760 to register for an inspection.
