Healthy waterways are essential to our native wildlife, and to our way of life. That’s why we’re improving the vegetation and habitat along a five-kilometre section of Moonee Ponds Creek in Strathmore, Gowanbrae, Glenroy and Oak Park for the animals that call it home.
In partnership with Glen Eira City Council, we’ve commissioned several studies into options for mitigating flooding from the Koornang Main Drain, which services the suburbs of Ormond and McKinnon.
Melbourne Water undertakes routine inspections and maintenance of Lilydale Drain and other drainage assets within the local area. To maintain these assets at times maintenance and desilting works are required.
Living Links is a large scale, long-term urban nature program working in partnership to create a web of green spaces across Melbourne’s south-east.
From mid-2026, we're carrying out underground repairs to the heritage-listed Main Outfall Sewer near Parkvista Drive, Truganina.
We’re replacing weeds with indigenous vegetation to support native wildlife habitat.
We’re upgrading parts of the Maroondah Reservoir Transfer System to keep our water supply strong and reliable for the future.
The system, located near Healesville, provides about 200 million litres of clean drinking water to Melbourne every day. Some parts of it were built in the 1890s and 1920s and are now becoming too old to continue being used.
Replacing it with modern infrastructure means we can continue supplying safe water to homes and businesses for generations to come.
We’re finding smart ways to actively manage and improve the health of Monbulk Creek for our community and the environment.
We are upgrading sections of the Mordialloc Main Sewer network along Chute Street and White Street to Malcolm Road. Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
During the warmer months we monitor mosquito larvae at the Seaford Wetlands and coordinate actions to control outbreaks.
