Residents of the Latrobe Valley town are being told to evacuate again after it was inundated by flooding on Thursday.
There have been more than 600 calls to the State Emergency Service for assistance in the last 24 hours, with the majority for trees down.
“Due to significant weather event in the past 24 hours that impacted Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort, the team are working to repair damage and flooding to areas of the resort,” a media spokesman for the resort said. He said there would potentially be another low pressure system moving across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, but it would not be as severe as what the state has experienced this week.
“There are still lots of flood warnings out at the moment ... anyone in the Melbourne area, do take care around [the] Yarra area, especially in the upper reaches there with those floodwaters waters just moving very slowly down towards the bay.”
