Flood hazard classifications help us understand floodwaters’ potential for harm and property damage, based on their behaviour – like depth and speed.
We are improving visitor access and protecting the environment along Cement Creek and the Yarra River at the popular Redwood Forest in Warburton.
Some paths near the riverbank will be temporarily closed while we build a boardwalk, viewing platforms, walking paths and fencing, and revegetate the riverbank to protect native plants and animals for generations to come.
At Melbourne Water, we manage trees and vegetation at our reservoirs, along pipe tracks and across our catchments.
Melbourne Water manages our rivers, creeks, and catchments, including large areas of land to support the function of the water supply and sewer network. Illegal rubbish dumping can sometimes occur on Melbourne Water land.
Healthy waterways are essential to our native wildlife, and to our way of life. That’s why we’re improving the vegetation and habitat along a five-kilometre section of Moonee Ponds Creek in Strathmore, Gowanbrae, Glenroy and Oak Park for the animals that call it home.
From mid-2026, we're carrying out underground repairs to the heritage-listed Main Outfall Sewer near Parkvista Drive, Truganina.
We’re carrying out minor maintenance and improvement works to the Pilot Park in Williams Landing until July 2026. This ensures the parkland continues to provide opportunities to exercise, relax, socialise and connect with nature today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
We’re preparing to undertake some works next to Norton Road in Croydon to repair the wall of a sediment pond which had collapsed.
The sediment pond is part of the Tarralla Creek wetlands.
Melbourne Water is upgrading Barrymore Road Retarding Basin (RB) embankment in Attwood Creek, Greenvale. The Retarding Basin forms an integral part of the Atwood Creek Reserve and the broad street drain.
