Program extended until the end of November in response to high take-up
Demand for the free Urban Fruit Tree Removal Program continues, with more than 600 applications received to have unwanted fruit trees removed from residential yards across the Goulburn Murray Valley.
High demand for the program has led to a further extension of its closing date.
Property owners with unwanted fruit trees in residential urban yards now have until the end of November to apply to have them removed at no cost, after the program was extended for an additional month.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Amanda McClaren stands united with her fellow mayors with concern about the unacceptable level of family violence in Victorian communities.
Strathbogie Shire Council’s CEO, Steve Crawcour is also an advocate for breaking down barriers related to domestic violence, as one of few local government CEOs to be an official White Ribbon Ambassador and the first to have this commitment included in his contract.
Ensuring that approaches to combating violence are evidence-based and based on best practice from across the world is paramount.
