The contemporary engineering approach to drainage is to recognise stormwater is part of the total water cycle.

The plant treats sewage using a series of large ponds, called lagoons - producing 40 billion litres of recycled water each year.

There are a number of physical factors that will affect the design of the drain which should be considered.

These guidelines have been prepared to simplify and standardise application and computation of floodway safety requirements in the greater Melbourne region.

Stormwater connections can have many and diverse impacts on waterway health.

The hydrologic and hydraulic design requirements for drainage systems are described.

The use of easements and reserves to protect our assets will be influenced by the type of asset, long term statutory responsibilities, implied rights and required control over use of the land.

Case study: our Western Port environment research program continues to provide value – both to Melbourne Water and the Victorian government more broadly.

Contributions are paid as development occurs, and properties contribute on the basis of the development area and development type.
