Chain of Ponds Collaboration
We’re trialling a better way of collaborating to address challenges in the Moonee Ponds Creek Catchment, progressively transforming the creek through co-designing and co-delivering projects.
Flood flow statement (velocity)
If you are developing or building and your property is subject to flooding, you may be required to obtain flood flow rate information from us.
Christmas Hills land sales
We are planning to transfer 280 hectares of our land to the Crown for conservation purposes, and rezone and sell the remainder on the open market. The land was previously earmarked for the Watsons Creek Storage Reservoir.
Shared cost boundary fencing
If your land adjoins Melbourne Water freehold land we may agree to reimburse half the cost of constructing an approved boundary fence.
Road discontinuance (right of way)
If councils are seeking to discontinue use of a laneway as a road and convert it to private ownership they must apply for our consent.
Reimbursement for approved fence construction
If your land adjoins Melbourne Water land and we have approved your half-share fencing application, you'll need to apply to be reimbursed for the agreed upon construction cost.
Request access to our land
If you are planning a small project that will benefit from gaining access to your property via Melbourne Water-owned land you need our consent to proceed.
Planning scheme amendment
Where Melbourne Water is the relevant Referral Authority, as part of an application to amend planning scheme information, overlays or a change the zoning of a parcel of land, you will require our consent.
Maintain a Crown Levee
Landowners must apply for our consent to maintain existing levees on Crown land that adjoins a rural property.
Inspection of work
Inspections are required to ensure that our conditions are met, waterways are protected, public safety ensured, property is protected and works and building complies with standards.
