Essential Tree Removal Works Underway in Euroa

Strathbogie Shire Council would like to update the community on the tree removal works currently underway in Euroa as part of essential preparations for upcoming infrastructure upgrades as part of Inland Rail.

Over the coming week, 11 trees along Birkett and Brock Streets will be removed to facilitate the detour route ahead of the Anderson Street bridge closure later this year. 11 trees requiring removal, other trees will be subject to further arborist assessments and supervision during construction.

Council acknowledges the value of all trees and is working closely with arborists to minimise impacts. Tree removal is only occurring where necessary to allow for road widening, drainage improvements, service relocations, and new street lighting—ensuring the detour meets safety and traffic requirements.

We understand that tree removal may be a concern for residents, and we appreciate the community’s patience as we work alongside Inland Rail to minimise disruptions. Traffic management will be in place, and affected residents have been directly notified.
