We’re working with local councils to update flood information across Greater Melbourne, to better understand the risk of current and future flooding.

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life. That’s why we plan for, manage and maintain all elements of the water cycle. From grass cutting, to weed management and revegetation to desilting our pipelines.

Rivers and creeks are essential to our way of life - that’s why at Melbourne Water we conduct ongoing inspections of our creeks and waterways.

Melbourne Water undertakes routine inspection across many sites including drains, local creeks, waterways and retarding basins to maintain these assets, and ensure they continue to provide drainage for the local area.

Our curriculum based resources focus on water and the water cycle, Melbourne’s local waterways, and environmental conservation.

Learn about the volunteering opportunities and citizen science programs you can get involved in that will make a difference in your community.

Community groups can book a guided tour or virtual excursion to our water and sewage treatment plants, or wetlands education centre.
