The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) has informed us about upcoming repair works on two landslips along the Melba Highway in Dixons Creek, between Healesville-Kinglake Road and north of Hunts Lane. These critical repairs are scheduled to commence on Monday, 17 February, and are expected to be completed by the end of March 2025, weather permitting.

During this period, the impacted section of the Melba Highway will be closed, with detours in place for light vehicles, rigid trucks, and buses via Healesville-Kinglake Road and Healesville-Yarra Glen Road. Heavy vehicles will need to follow alternative routes, and drivers should anticipate additional travel times. Access to properties and businesses south of the Healesville-Kinglake intersection will be maintained from Yarra Glen.
 
Melba Highway will reopen for the Labour Day long weekend from Friday afternoon 7 March to 7.00 am Tuesday 11 March in both directions with temporary speed limits in place.

We encourage residents and visitors to plan their journeys accordingly. For more detailed information, please the Transport Victoria website.
