Melbourne Water has completed an upgrade to the Browns Reserve drainage pump station to improve its reliability, by automating pumping during flooding and providing emergency backup power.

We’re planning to complete a dam safety upgrade to Cardinia Reservoir in the summer of 2023/24, to protect and prolong the life of one of Victoria’s most pristine water catchments that supplies Melburnians with world-class drinking water.

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.

To reduce frequent flooding to local residences in Capel Sound, Melbourne Water will be constructing an earthen levee on Chinamans Creek.

We’re working to restore natural waterway conditions in Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve, to help preserve the habitat of the critically-endangered Helmeted Honeyeater and lowland Leadbeater’s Possum.

We've collaborated with Parks Victoria and the City of Casey on an exciting project to create a new wetland and realign the southern reach of Grasmere Creek in Berwick, which will restore and enhance the area.
