December 16th, 2025Clearing trees from Avenue of Honour in Daylesford

Hepburn Shire Council has started removing 12 trees from the Daylesford Avenue of Honour.

The council reported on October 3 that it had become aware of some wood decay and tree death while conducting recent tree risk mitigation audits in line with its Tree Management Plan. “Old age, recent storms and damage have led to tree death and wood decay. Twelve trees (out of 184) will need to be removed along the Midland Highway and Daylesford-Malmsbury Road. Our parks team will replace the memorial trees next winter. The timber from these important trees will go to DJAARA Timbers for milling, in line with our Resource Recovery MoU with DJAARA.”
