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.

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.

Melbourne Water undertakes routine inspections and maintenance of Lilydale Drain and other drainage assets within the local area. To maintain these assets at times maintenance and desilting works are required.

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.

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.
