Melbourne Water and Yarra City Council are working together to consider options for how to reduce the impacts of flooding in and around Glass Street in Richmond.  

We're reimagining a number of creeks across Melbourne, transforming them into desirable open spaces where people can interact with nature in cooler, healthier environments.

We are re-coating the Patterson Lakes Tidal Gates with an anti-corrosive paint, protecting them from corrosion so they can continue protecting the community from localised flooding.

Improving the health of Dandenong Creek’s middle corridor by fostering innovation in pollution reduction and enhancing biodiversity and connectivity. After a successful Phase 1 and 2 of the Enhancing our Dandenong Creek program, Melbourne Water will continue to deliver through a Better Environment Plan for the middle corridor of Dandenong Creek.

We’re working hard to protect the lower Watts River catchment from an aggressive weed, red cestrum.

We’re working to improve the health of the Little Yarra River in Yarra Junction, by undertaking weed control and revegetation along the streamside.

Melbourne Water will be constructing a new water treatment plant in Mount Evelyn.

We gather research data at Boag Rocks, on the Mornington Peninsula, where Class A recycled water is discharged from the Eastern Treatment Plant.

We’re building a second drain to carry flood water from Melbourne’s southeast to the Port Philip Bay at Elwood.

We’re embarking on a major program that will see over 60km of the Birrarung (Yarra River) receive a dedicated renewal over five years from 2022-2026 to help promote the health of our landmark waterway.
