Severe weather is expected across our network from tomorrow morning (Tuesday 8 July).
Damaging winds gust up to 90km/h and rainfall are predicted in the north eastern suburbs, across to the Dandenong Ranges and towards Warragul. Blizzard conditions are also possible in Alpine areas.
These conditions can increase the risk of trees falling on powerlines, causing power outages across our network.
