DANDENONG has always been known for its large, majestic river red gums. Many have made way for development, but one in the bulldozers’ path in Dandenong South has been saved. Abbotts Road is being duplicated from Park Drive to Remington Drive and it was recommended that the tree be cut down based on concern it could drop limbs on drivers. “Fortunately our officers rejected it,” Greater Dandenong councillor Peter Brown said. An ongoing inspection and pruning regime is planned. Construction works were due to start in September and finish in May next year. 145069 Picture: KIM CARTMELL
