Projects

In Melbourne, our rivers and creeks are essential to our way of life. That’s why at Melbourne Water we’re removing weeds and planting native plants along a 3km stretch of Haunted Gully Creek. Once established, the vegetation will protect the banks of the creek and provide habitat so our native wildlife can thrive.

We're upgrading the Hawthorn East Retarding Basin, located next to Rathmines Reserve, to ensure a safe drainage system and prevent surrounding homes from flooding.

We’re replacing the sewer siphon that runs under the Yarra River, as part of the second phase of works on the Hawthorn Main Sewer upgrade.

Melbourne Water is upgrading the Hobsons Bay Main Sewer to ensure the continued reliability of Melbourne's sewage network.

Melbourne Water is upgrading the channel inlet leading into the Huntingdale Wetlands litter trap to improve the way we capture litter and large debris before it enters the Wetland.

We’re working to improve the health of the Little Yarra River in Yarra Junction, by undertaking weed control and revegetation along the streamside.

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.

We’re upgrading Liverpool Road retarding basin in Boronia, to ensure a safe drainage system and prevent surrounding homes from flooding.
