The Department of Transport and Planning (DOTP) has completed the landslip repair works on Monbulk-Seville Road in Wandin East.

A 40km/h speed reduction will be in place until the road can be resealed.

The road is expected to be resealed during summer months.

The road was closed after geotechnical engineers assessed a section of unstable ground and identified an active landslip on Monbulk-Seville Road near the intersection with Charteris Road in late 2022.

18 trees that became unstable during the landslip were removed. Additional drainage works were also undertaken to reduce water pooling under the road surface.

The DOTP will continue to work with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), Yarra Ranges Council, State Emergency Services and Victoria Police to monitor the area.
