Projects

Melbourne Water is building new infrastructure to meet growing demand for water Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs.

We have upgraded the O’Shannassy Reservoir, replacing its outlet pipe and tower structure so the reservoir continues operating effectively.

We are re-coating the Patterson Lakes Tidal Gates with an anti-corrosive paint, protecting them from corrosion so they can continue protecting the community from localised flooding.

We’re constructing a new stormwater drain and wetland in the Pioneer Bay area to improve flood protection, waterway health and stormwater issues. This continues our important work to provide flood protection to the community.

To improve the local amenity, natural habitat and safety for High Street road users and pedestrians, we are proposing to remove the stand of Monterey Cypress and Monterey Pines trees that are within the Preston Reservoir site.

We’re working hard to protect the lower Watts River catchment from an aggressive weed, red cestrum.

We're reimagining a number of creeks across Melbourne, transforming them into desirable open spaces where people can interact with nature in cooler, healthier environments.

We're investing over $100 million in a four-year program to upgrade ageing sewer pipes and manholes across Melbourne, so that they continue providing a safe and reliable service to the community for at least another 50 years.

Melbourne Water is replacing Shakespeare Grove main drain outlet to make it safe for the public and ensure it continues to reduce flood risk to surrounding suburbs for many more years to come.

Melbourne Water will soon commence construction of a new solar farm at the Eastern Treatment Plant in Bangholme, helping to meet our goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2030.
