We’re preparing to undertake some works next to Norton Road in Croydon to repair the wall of a sediment pond which had collapsed.
The sediment pond is part of the Tarralla Creek wetlands.

Melbourne Water is upgrading Barrymore Road Retarding Basin (RB) embankment in Attwood Creek, Greenvale. The Retarding Basin forms an integral part of the Atwood Creek Reserve and the broad street drain.

To continue our vital work of safeguarding our waterways, Melbourne Water is enhancing the Gladstone Street Wetlands

Constructed wetlands play a vital role in filtering stormwater before it flows into our waterways. This project will ensure the Gladstone Street Wetlands continue to function as intended treating pollutants, improving habitat, and supporting a healthier environment for the local community.

Southbank is one of Melbourne’s most significant urban precincts, supporting high‑density residential, commercial and cultural development in a central city location. Victorian state and local planning policy identifies Southbank as a key area for ongoing renewal and investment, reflecting its accessibility, employment role and global city profile. 

We’re upgrading parts of the Maroondah Reservoir Transfer System to keep our water supply strong and reliable for the future.
The system, located near Healesville, provides about 200 million litres of clean drinking water to Melbourne every day. Some parts of it were built in the 1890s and 1920s and are now becoming too old to continue being used.
Replacing it with modern infrastructure means we can continue supplying safe water to homes and businesses for generations to come.

In partnership with Manningham Council, we are rehabilitating a section of Birrarung (Yarra River) in Warrandyte to repair riverbank erosion and protect native habitat, including for platypus.

Melbourne Water and Merri-bek Council are investigating flood risk in and around Alister Street, including the Glenlyon Road and Willowbank Road drainage network in Fitzroy North.
