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.

We are installing a new pump to facilitate stormwater flow under the Dandenong-Frankston railway line.

We’re undertaking a four-year program aimed at controlling rapidly-spreading weed species and revegetation with native species along a 2.3km section of Dandenong Creek, from Ferntree Gully Road to Mulgrave Reserve.

We are upgrading meters that help monitor water flowing through our water mains under the St Georges Road median.

We have been working with the City of Yarra to repair rockwork along a section of the Yarra Main Trail near Dights Falls in Abbotsford affected by erosion. These works are now complete and will ensure continued, safe use of the trail for pedestrians, cyclists, and for people of all abilities.

As part of the Enhancing Our Dandenong Creek program, Melbourne Water is working with stakeholders and the community to improve the habitat, ecology and amenity of Dandenong Creek.

We are upgrading sections of the Mordialloc Main Sewer (MRD) from Chute Street along White Street to Malcolm Road. Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

The Port Melbourne Drainage Pump Station on Esplanade West was built in 1891 to provide flood protection to a catchment of 126 hectares across the Port Melbourne area. The station houses four pumps that pump storm water from the historical wetlands out into Port Phillip Bay.

Three of the pumps were installed in 1951, with the fourth installed in 1981. All four pumps are nearing the end of their service life and require upgrading to ensure flood mitigation services are continued to be provided in Port Melbourne.

As part of the works, a cross-connecting drainage point located within Lagoon Reserve, off Graham Street, will be upgraded to prevent sea water from re-entering and corroding drain and pump station assets in the future.

Melbourne Water is committed to maintaining our world-class sewerage system in your local area. That’s why we're carrying out critical sewer maintenance works at the intersection of Burnley Street and Newry Street in Richmond.

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.
