Projects

The Western Treatment Plant (WTP) sustainably treats almost half of Melbourne’s sewage daily. We’ve been constructing the 5 West Nutrient Removal Plant (NRP) to ensure a safe sewerage service for local homes and businesses now and into the future. 

Melbourne Water is undertaking essential upgrades by raising the sewer weir and replacing and raising maintenance holes at the North West Sewer shaft within Afton Street Reserve in Aberfeldie.

We're partially upgrading Beaconsfield Reservoir to protect downstream properties and communities. The reservoir was permanently disconnected from Melbourne's water supply network in 1988.

We are installing a new pump to facilitate stormwater flow under the Dandenong-Frankston railway line.

We’ve completed the modification works to strengthen and extend the life of the Blind Creek footbridge in Fairpark Reserve. The bridge is open and detours around the Blind Creek Trail have been removed. 

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

As part of the Enhancing Our Dandenong Creek program, Melbourne Water is working with stakeholders and the community to improve the habitat, ecology and amenity of Dandenong Creek.

We’re planning to complete a dam safety upgrade to Cardinia Reservoir in the summer of 2024/25, to protect and prolong the life of one of Victoria’s most pristine water catchments that supplies Melburnians with world-class drinking water.

Melbourne Water is removing an infestation of giant pine scale from Cardinia Reservoir and replanting the affected areas with native plants. These works will protect the local environment from further damage from giant pine scale and ensure the long-term biodiversity of the area.

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.
