Yarra Ranges Council has issued another update about the ongoing Warburton Tree saga.

Yarra Ranges Council is continuing to urge a group of protestors to vacate the site of the tree in Warburton to enable urgent safety works to be completed.

The council-managed car park has now been completely sealed off to protect residents and visitors from the dangerous tree and trespassing signs have been erected. To ensure the area remains safe, security guards are also in place.

Council is working closely with Victoria Police in relation to public safety concerns and an order to vacate the car park has been issued.
