Following heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding in Melbourne, rural and regional Victoria, Melbourne Water highlights it current priorities.
Water authorities continue their work to assist with the recovery and providing support for flood affected residents following the Maribyrnong River flooding event.
Come and explore the centre and find out why the wetland is internationally recognised, with educators and plenty of activities on hand.
Floods are a natural part of Melbourne’s weather. We can’t stop them from happening, but we can all play a role in minimising their impacts.
At Melbourne Water, we have been taking action and planning across 50-year time horizons to manage and protect this precious resource for our city.
We manage and treat our city’s sewage, ensuring the health of our environment, our communities and our families.
We work with the retail water companies and other non-metropolitan water businesses to supply drinking and recycled water water, and to remove and treat sewerage.
Melbourne Water touches all parts of the water cycle that are essential to our way of life: from providing clean drinking water, treating sewage, planning that manages flooding, and keeping Melbourne’s rivers, creeks and catchments healthy.
See the many ways you can get involved with Melbourne Water, whether it's through an event, citizen science program, or by discovering a new walking or bike track this weekend.
