May 13, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luckily no one was injured when a large tree fell suddenly in Murgon’s main street on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The tree, in QEII Park opposite Betta Home Living, snapped and fell about 4:00pm.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully no one was sitting underneath it. It could have been very dangerous,” local businessman Leo Geraghty told southburnett.com.au<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Geraghty said the tree was old and had rotted away.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there were also no pedestrians nearby and no parked vehicles were damaged.<\/p>\n

Council workers responded quickly to clear away the debris.<\/p>\n

Three other trees nearby have now been assessed by Council as being in need of removal.<\/p>\n

Cr Kathy Duff told the Murgon Business and Development Association these remaining trees would be removed on Sunday (May 17).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work is due to start at 7:00am and westbound traffic in Lamb Street will be detoured for 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n

“It was fortunate that no one was hurt and that there wasn\u2019t any damage to anyone\u2019s property,” Cr Duff told the MBDA.<\/p>\n

“There will be three trees removed on Sunday that have been identified as unhealthy.<\/p>\n

“The trees are very old and obviously there is a lot of history and sentiment around them and some are Heritage-listed.<\/p>\n

“We will work towards a tree replacement program as we move forward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
