The Hawthorn East Main Drain (HEMD) is part of the complex drainage system which Melbourne Water manages. A recent inspection of the HEMD found that sections may be reaching the end of their working life resulting in brick separation and some brick loss.   That’s why at Melbourne Water we are upgrading the HEMD so that it can continue to ensure that rainfall and ground water can safely flow away from built-up areas into rivers and creeks. 

We’re transforming another section of Tarralla Creek to create a more natural and enjoyable community space.

We are reimagining almost 2 kilometres of Eumemmerring Creek into a natural waterway from Doveton Avenue, Doveton through to Lace Street, Eumemmerring.
