One year on from Melbourne Water’s launching its Litter Prevention Toolkit, eight councils and community groups across the city have been awarded more than $34,000 in funding to help keep local neighbourhoods, waterways and Port Phillip Bay free from litter.

Despite recent improvement after a dry start to the year, Melbourne's storage levels remain below last year’s 72.4%. Without this year’s desalination order, storages would be roughly a further 2.2% lower, a clear sign of how much the plant is contributing to Melbourne’s water security this winter.

Melbourne Water is taking action to protect the tens of thousands of shorebirds and wild migratory waterbirds who call our Ramsar-listed wetlands and waterways home.  

Melbourne Water has wrapped up five years of reporting against the commitments set out in its 2021 Price Submission, with performance improving year on year and this year’s results assessed as meeting nearly all of the targets that matter most to customers.
