We're maintaining Melbourne Water’s pipeline in Box Hill to increase water delivery capacity to Melbourne's northeastern suburbs.
Melbourne Water and Greater Western Water have successfully completed a joint operation to refill a section of Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, aiming to save the endangered Yarra Pygmy Perch.
A warmer-than-average autumn has led to an 8% drop in Greater Melbourne’s water storages since the end of summer, with current levels sitting at 73%, down 14% from the end of autumn 2024.
Melbourne Water protects Ramsar wetlands, vital for wildlife, culture, clean water and flood resilience. We work with partners to secure their future.
The Western Port Ramsar site spans nearly 60,000 hectares of wetlands, tidal flats, and seagrass meadows. It is internationally recognised for its biodiversity, rich birdlife, and its role in supporting healthy marine and coastal ecosystems. These wetlands filter water, support fisheries, reduce flood risk, and provide habitat for thousands of native species.
We’re trialling a better way of collaborating to address challenges in the Moonee Ponds Creek Catchment, progressively transforming the creek through co-designing and co-delivering projects.
A summary of the state of Melbourne’s water availability for the year ahead, and our actions to secure a resilient, reliable water supply.
We’re undertaking strategic research projects to improve our knowledge of Western Port’s marine and coastal environments.
