We transformed 1.65 kilometres of an underground concrete drain into a natural waterway, and turned Lewis Park into a more enjoyable community space. Learn more about what we did.
We are improving the native vegetation of 47 hectares (3 kms) along Devilbend Creek, adjacent to the Devilbend Reservoir. Over four years we are removing weeds and planting new native plants. These works will protect the waterway from erosion and improve habitat for native plants and animals such as the Dwarf Galaxias, Southern Toadlet and Eastern Long-necked Turtle.
We are enhancing the Mill Park Wetlands in The Lakes Reserve, South Morang, to ensure they keep working the way they were meant to: filtering out nitrogen and harmful pollutants and keeping our rivers and creeks healthy.
Flood risk in any area depends on how often flooding occurs, how deep and fast floodwater flows and how it impacts people, homes, and infrastructure.
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.
The 10-year plan supports collaborative management of the Yarra and its lands to give effect to the community’s long-term vision.
