Large tree falls on Healesville – Koo Wee Rup Road



A large pine tree has fallen across Healesville – Koo Wee Rup Road just after midday today, causing traffic to come to a halt while emergency services, council staff and community members worked to clear the road.

Healesville SES crews attended the scene after receiving an assistance call at 12:19.

Yarra Ranges Council staff helped crews, while Eyton on Yarra manager Merv Steer arrived with a tractor to help clear the way and remove debris.

The road quickly turned into a parking lot with cars backing up not long after the tree fell.

Police were also on the scene, diverting drivers around the area – stopping traffic at Launching Place and turning cars back to Healesville.

The massive operation took crews two hours to clear the road, with traffic now returning to normal.
