Projects

The Port Melbourne Drainage Pump Station on Esplanade West was built in 1891 to provide flood protection to a catchment of 126 hectares across the Port Melbourne area. The station houses four pumps that pump storm water from the historical wetlands out into Port Phillip Bay.

Three of the pumps were installed in 1951, with the fourth installed in 1981. All four pumps are nearing the end of their service life and require upgrading to ensure flood mitigation services are continued to be provided in Port Melbourne.

As part of the works, a cross-connecting drainage point located within Lagoon Reserve, off Graham Street, will be upgraded to prevent sea water from re-entering and corroding drain and pump station assets in the future.

We’re working hard to protect the lower Watts River catchment from an aggressive weed, red cestrum.

The Ramsar Protection Program is a long-term, collaborative environmental program working to maintain or improve the ecological values of the Western Port and Port Phillip Bay western shoreline Ramsar wetlands sites.

We’re transforming 1.65 kilometres of underground concrete drainage into a natural waterway, and turning Lewis Park into a more enjoyable community space.

Water is essential to our way of life. That’s why we’re transforming part of the D1 Drain in Werribee into a natural waterway where native wildlife can thrive and communities can come together.

We're reimagining a number of creeks across Melbourne, transforming them into desirable open spaces where people can interact with nature in cooler, healthier environments.

Melbourne Water updraded the internal fittings of the sewer maintenance hole located at the corner of Cullen Street and Hudsons Road, Spotswood.
