Virtually explore the WTP
Whether people want to find out why the orange-bellied parrot hangs out in the wetlands at the Western Treatment Plant (WTP), what Melbourne Water’s vision for the future is, or whether the WTP was home to the first ever women’s football team in Australia, there’s something for everyone to explore in our updated virtual tour.
Two Great Ramsar Wetlands
The Two Great Ramsar Wetlands project is a five-year project led by Melbourne Water that aims to bring key agencies, land managers and community groups together to reduce the threats to the Port Phillip and Western Port Ramsar sites at Port Phillip Bay’s western shoreline and Western Port.
Let's talk water
Melburnians know that water nourishes, cleans and sustains us and our environment. We are lucky enough to trust that it’s always there when we need it, and it is safely taken away when we don’t.
