A Victoria Police spokesperson said: “Eight people and a dog have been injured following a balcony collapse in Anglesea.

“It’s believed the group were lunching on the balcony when it collapsed, causing all eight people to fall about 2.5 metres.

“Three men, three women and two teenage girls were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”

In the immediate aftermath of the collapse, it’s believed three people were temporarily trapped beneath timber from the balcony, and the brick foundations were unstable.

The exact number of people transported to hospital, and the nature of their injuries, remain unclear.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said: “Seven people are being transported by road ambulance to Geelong University Hospital.”
