We're partially upgrading Beaconsfield Reservoir to protect downstream properties and communities. The reservoir was permanently disconnected from Melbourne's water supply network in 1988.

The Two Great Ramsar Wetlands project is a five-year project (2018-23) led by Melbourne Water that aims to bring key agencies, land managers and community groups together to reduce the threats to the Port Phillip and Western Port Ramsar sites at Port Phillip Bay (western shoreline) and Western Port.

Fish can now freely and safely migrate from Port Phillip Bay to Darebin Creek thanks to the installation of a fish ladder.

We have completed an operation in the Silvan Reservoir closed catchment to clear a large quantity of debris following the 2021 storms. This will reduce bushfire risk in the reservoir and the surrounding region, and in doing so, help protect our water supply. Replanting and hand-seeding to regenerate the affected areas has now been completed.

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.
