McCrae landslide update - 22 January 2025

Published on 22 January 2025

Statement from the Mayor

At today’s community meeting in Dromana for residents affected by last week’s McCrae landslide, I spoke to the media and mentioned we had received $250,000 from the State Government’s Council Support Fund to assist us to support the landslide relief and recovery efforts.

The $250,000 was in fact for costs associated with the Mornington Peninsula storm event from February 2024.

This week we requested financial support from the government to assist our community with the McCrae incident and I inadvertently linked today’s funding announcement with the landslide. I apologise for this misunderstanding.

We thank the Victorian Government for the 2024 storm event funding and will continue to advocate for financial and technical support for the McCrae Landslide.
