Projects

Upgraded the electrical and control equipment of the pump station along the Yarra River opposite the entrance to Crown Casino on Southbank Boulevard. During storm events the pumps allow a faster rate of flow for water into the river when the drains are at capacity.

Fish can now freely and safely migrate from Port Phillip Bay to Darebin Creek thanks to the installation of a fish ladder.

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 increasing the capacity of the Elwood Main Drain to reduce flooding in the Elster Creek catchment.

We’re improving the vegetation in Bungalook Creek to enhance biodiversity in the area.

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

We’re undertaking a four-year program of weed control and revegetation works to improve the condition of native vegetation along Malcolm Creek in Mount Ridley Nature Conservation Reserve.

Melbourne Water is undertaking water main upgrade works in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. These upgrade works will ensure that additional water can be transferred between Silvan and Greenvale reservoirs to accommodate for the area’s future growth and ensure the community continues to be provided with a reliable and secure water supply.
