Monbulk Seville Road landslip repairs

We have reopened Monbulk-Seville Road in Wandin East following a landslip in late 2022.

Published date:

22/09/2023


Update - September 2023

Monbulk-Seville Road has now been reopened.

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. 

We appreciate the impact these works have on the community and would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we work to restore the road and deliver a safer journey for all. 

Background

Our geotechnical engineers assessed a section of unstable ground and identified an active landslip on Monbulk-Seville Road near the intersection with Charteris Road. 

For safety reasons, Monbulk-Seville Road was closed between Ferndale Road and Parker Road.

We removed 18 trees that became unstable during the landslip. We worked with an ecologist and fauna specialist to ensure the safety of wildlife during vegetation removal works. Additional drainage works were undertaken to reduce water pooling under the road surface.

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