Damage to a common boundary fence

What to do if you share a boundary fence with Council and it was damaged in the June storm

Since the devastating storm we have produced 17,000m3 of mulch and 900 tonnes of firewood to locals and community groups. Find out more about what projects Council has undertaken to ensure these trees are reused and repurposed for community use.

Revegetation after the storm

The storm event in June saw an estimated 25,000 trees fall throughout the Yarra Ranges. In the months following the majority of storm debris was removed, but some of that material has remained as it assists in the recovery of the Yarra Ranges ecosystem.
