North Yarra Main Sewer Rehabilitation Project - Heidelberg to Ivanhoe East

In Melbourne, a safe, clean and healthy environment is essential to our way of life. Through an extensive network of underground pipes and sewers we manage and treat our city's sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families. Without improvements and innovations, that enormous sewerage network would reach capacity and our waste would impact on the health of your environment. That's why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading sections of the North Yarra Main (NYM) Sewer between Heidelberg Park near Darebin Street through Jika Street to Yarra Flats Park through The Boulevard (1.8km). Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

Thornhill Park Retarding Basin and Wetland

Thornhill Park Retarding Basin and Wetland requires some rectification works on the outlet structure, north of the freeway to allow for the water levels to naturally balance within the system as designed. Once the water levels have been lowered landscaping works can commence around the park. Melbourne Water will undertake the landscaping works, which will include outdoor fitness equipment, a viewing platform and plantings around the area.
