Elwood Main Drain Project

Why this project is important

In Melbourne, managing stormwater safely is essential to maintaining a safe, clean and healthy environment and protecting homes from flood risk. The Elster Creek catchment has a long history of flooding that affects homes and businesses in Elwood and Brighton. That’s why we’re building a second drain to safely carry flood water from Melbourne’s southeast to the bay at Elwood, helping to reduce flood risk and strengthen our drainage network for generations to come.
