We’re building a second drain to carry flood water from Melbourne’s southeast to the Port Philip Bay at Elwood.

Melbourne Water will be conducting rehabilitation works to the Church Street Main Drain in Hawthorn between Church Street and College Street Hawthorn.

We're upgrading the dam infrastructure at Cardinia Reservoir to ensure its future as a safe and resilient water source for Melbourne.

We’ve completed the modification works to strengthen and extend the life of the Blind Creek footbridge in Fairpark Reserve. 

The Hallam Valley wetlands are now open to the community again following works to improve how the wetland functions.

We’re embarking on a major program that will see over 60km of the Birrarung (Yarra River) receive a dedicated renewal over five years from 2022-2026 to help promote the health of our landmark waterway.

We’re collaborating with councils, the Environment Protection Authority Victoria and other partners to develop a holistic, data-driven approach to prevent litter entering Port Phillip Bay through Elster Creek.

We are enhancing the Mill Park Wetlands in The Lakes Reserve, South Morang, to ensure they keep working the way they were meant to: filtering out nitrogen and harmful pollutants and keeping our rivers and creeks healthy.

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.

Melbourne Water undertakes routine inspections and maintenance of Lilydale Drain and other drainage assets within the local area. To maintain these assets at times maintenance and desilting works are required.
