Melbourne Water is upgrading the Quarry Hill tank to ensure it continues to provide a high standard of water quality now and into the future.

We are planning to transfer 280 hectares of our land to the Crown for conservation purposes, and rezone and sell the remainder on the open market. The land was previously earmarked for the Watsons Creek Storage Reservoir.

To secure a reliable water future for Melbourne's growing western suburbs, we're building a new bypass pipeline at St Albans Reservoir. This connection to our northern reservoirs will enhance our ability to deliver a sustainable water supply, now and for a changing climate.

We’re finding smart ways to actively manage and improve the health of Monbulk Creek for our community and the environment.

We will be removing trees and vegetation that are invasive weeds along the Werribee River in Bacchus Marsh then replanting the area with native trees and plants. Our maintenance program will also include rabbit control.
These works will improve the health of this waterway by protecting it from erosion while ensuring the local platypus population and other native animals and plants can thrive.

To support the development a P–12 independent school, as part of the Riverwalk Estate community infrastructure development, we will disassemble, relocate and reassemble Hangar 1 closer to Hangar 2 near the B-24 Liberator Museum and demolish the workshop at the Werribee Satellite Aerodrome site.

We’re transforming another section of Tarralla Creek to create a more natural and enjoyable community space.

We are reimagining almost 2 kilometres of Eumemmerring Creek into a natural waterway from Doveton Avenue, Doveton through to Lace Street, Eumemmerring.

Melbourne Water is removing an infestation of giant pine scale from Cardinia Reservoir and replanting the affected areas with native plants. These works will protect the local environment from further damage from giant pine scale and ensure the long-term biodiversity of the area.

The Hawthorn East Main Drain (HEMD) is part of the complex drainage system which Melbourne Water manages. A recent inspection of the HEMD found that sections may be reaching the end of their working life resulting in brick separation and some brick loss.   That’s why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading the HEMD so that it can continue to ensure that rainfall and ground water can safely flow away from built-up areas into rivers and creeks.
