Water is essential to our way of life. That’s why we’re transforming part of the D1 Drain in Werribee into a natural waterway where native wildlife can thrive and communities can come together.

We’re undertaking a ten-year program to completely eradicate Spartina, an introduced grass species, from Western Port by 2025.

We're upgrading the Hawthorn East Retarding Basin, located next to Rathmines Reserve, to ensure a safe drainage system and prevent surrounding homes from flooding.

We're performing upgrades to the Essex Street Main Drain - one of Melbourne Water's significant drains in the South Yarra and Prahran catchment.

We’re undertaking a four-year program of weed control and revegetation works to improve the condition of native vegetation along Malcolm Creek in Mount Ridley Nature Conservation Reserve.

Upgraded the electrical and control equipment of the pump station along the Yarra River opposite the entrance to Crown Casino on Southbank Boulevard. During storm events the pumps allow a faster rate of flow for water into the river when the drains are at capacity.

We're upgrading sections of the North Yarra Main (NYM) Sewer between Yarra Flats Park, Ivanhoe East and Farms Rd, Alphington (3.5kms). Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

Melbourne Water is undertaking water main upgrade works in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs. These upgrade works will ensure Melbourne Water can continue to supply our customers and the wider community with a safe and reliable water supply now and into the future.

We transformed 1.65 kilometres of an underground concrete drain into a natural waterway, and turned Lewis Park into a more enjoyable community space. Learn more about what we did.
