In partnership with Glen Eira City Council, we’ve commissioned several studies into options for mitigating flooding from the Koornang Main Drain, which services the suburbs of Ormond and McKinnon.
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 catchment.
Melbourne Water is undertaking essential upgrades by raising the sewer weir and replacing and raising maintenance holes at the North West Sewer shaft within Afton Street Reserve in Aberfeldie.
Healthy waterways are essential to our native wildlife, and to our way of life. That’s why we’re improving the vegetation and habitat along a five-kilometre section of Moonee Ponds Creek in Strathmore, Gowanbrae, Glenroy and Oak Park for the animals that call it home.
We’re transforming another section of Tarralla Creek, Croydon, into a more natural and enjoyable community space.
We are removing large woody weeds along a 500m stretch of Merri Creek during February - March. This section of Merri Creek is home to the endangered Growling Grass Frog whose habitat is threatened by invasive woody weeds such as Desert Ash.
