Residents are advised that given the extreme weather warning issued for 2-4 March the Shire of Yarra Ranges has opened a Relief Centre at the Lilydale Showgrounds, Chapel Street, Lilydale (Mel Ref 38 E4) from 6.00pm on Monday 2 March.

Provision has also been made to house livestock and domestic animals at the centre. The shire has also made arrangements to house horses at the Lilydale Recreation Reserve, entry from Maroondah Highway Lilydale.

Short term accommodation is available at the Relief Centre, however a more comfortable option may be for people to arrange to stay with friends and family.
