We're performing upgrades to the Essex Street Main Drain - one of Melbourne Water's significant drains in the South Yarra and Prahran catchment.

We’re undertaking a four-year program of weed control and revegetation works to improve the condition of native vegetation along Malcolm Creek in Mount Ridley Nature Conservation Reserve.

Upgraded the electrical and control equipment of the pump station along the Yarra River opposite the entrance to Crown Casino on Southbank Boulevard. During storm events the pumps allow a faster rate of flow for water into the river when the drains are at capacity.

We’re installing a new pressure reducing valve in the St Helena pipe-track, located off St Helena Road, St Helena.

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.

Melbourne Water is upgrading the channel inlet leading into the Huntingdale Wetlands litter trap to improve the way we capture litter and large debris before it enters the Wetland.

We're upgrading the Waverley Road retarding basin spillway, located next to Scotchmans Creek Trail in Mount Waverley, to ensure a safe drainage system and to reduce the risk of flooding to surrounding homes.

We are upgrading sections of the Mordialloc Main Sewer (MRD) from Chute Street along White Street to Malcolm Road. Ensuring we maintain our world class sewerage system today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

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.
