Melbourne Water is upgrading the channel inlet leading into the Huntingdale Wetlands litter trap to improve the way we capture litter and large debris before it enters the Wetland.
We're upgrading the Waverley Road retarding basin spillway, located next to Scotchmans Creek Trail in Mount Waverley, to ensure a safe drainage system and to reduce the risk of flooding to surrounding homes.
We’re improving the health of the Yarra River, section by section, from Dee River, Millgrove to Melba Highway, Yarra Glen.
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 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 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.
