Projects

We gather research data at Boags Rocks, on the Mornington Peninsula, where Class A recycled water is discharged from the Eastern Treatment Plant.

We’re trialling a better way of collaborating to address challenges in the Moonee Ponds Creek Catchment, progressively transforming the creek through co-designing and co-delivering projects.

We are planning to transfer 280 hectares of our land to the Crown for conservation purposes, and rezone and sell the remainder on the open market. The land was previously earmarked for the Watsons Creek Storage Reservoir.

We’re taking a holistic approach to reducing flood risk in Elster Creek Catchment, collaboratively implementing the Elster Creek Catchment Flood Management Plan 2019-24 with the cities of Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston and Port Phillip.

Melbourne Water is in the early planning phase of work to increase the capacity of the Elwood Diversion Drain and reduce flooding in the Elster Creek Catchment.

We’re working with stakeholders and the community to improve the habitat, ecology and amenity of Dandenong Creek.

We’re creating tree canopy over the Merri Creek Trail at Galada Tamboore so that it can be enjoyed by the local community for more days of the year as part of our Urban Cooling Program.

The Greening the Pipeline initiative aims to transform the heritage-listed Main Outfall Sewer reserve along the Federation Trail bike path, into a parkland to service a growing population in Melbourne's west.

Melbourne Water is building a new sewer in the suburb of Maidstone.

During the warmer months we monitor mosquito larvae at the Seaford Wetlands and coordinate actions to control outbreaks.
