 Melbourne Water and the Victorian Government have invested $65 million in the project.

An exciting scientific discovery was made when eight-year-old Alice Dutton, a budding citizen scientist from Tecoma, recorded the call of the threatened Growling Grass Frog (Litoria raniformis) during a Birrarung Riverfest event at Spadoni’s Billabong in Yering. According to Melbourne Water’s frog data, the species has not been recorded in this location for 24 years.
