Following the recent heavy rain event, our crews are out across the Shire assessing, clearing and sweeping local roads and drains.
Several roads have been closed including Fox Road, Smiths Gully and Calwell Road, Kangaroo Ground. Residents are asked to use alternative routes while flood water recedes and repair works are undertaken to make safe.
We continue to monitor other roads within the Shire and will advise of further closures as they are implemented.
We are working closely with VicRoads to support their work at Eltham-Yarra Glen Road near Simpsons Road and Yan Yean Road, both of which have been significantly impacted.
Our kerbside bin collection has been interrupted in streets experiencing flooding. Contractors will collect the rubbish as soon as it is safe for trucks to enter those locations.
Parts of the Diamond Creek Trail are underwater. Once safe access is available, our crews will be out clearing paths of debris and assessing the integrity of trees along the trail and other areas impacted by the floods.
Further closures are expected throughout the week as water moves through waterways into the Diamond Creek and other local waterways.
Please take care when you are out and about. Do not drive or walk through flood waters.
