Contributions are the costs we recover from developers to fund drainage scheme works and stormwater offsets.

Case study: our Western Port environment research program continues to provide value – both to Melbourne Water and the Victorian government more broadly.

Contributions are paid as development occurs, and properties contribute on the basis of the development area and development type.

Case study: DNA meta barcoding is streamlining processing of samples from aquatic macroinvertebrate surveys, improving data quality and cost.

A stormwater offset is a financial contribution paid by residential developers to us for stormwater management works to be undertaken in another location.

Case study: a two-and-a-half year trial of shortcut nitrogen removal has shown potential to transform the way we treat wastewater, while saving costs.

View expectations and options for your development in relation to water quality contributions and on-site treatment, as stipulated by the Victoria Planning Provisions.

Case study: a virtual reality ozone generator has improved staff safety and confidence, familiarising them with new technology they need to maintain.

Case study: a network of tiny corrosion detection devices is helping field staff save time and reduce safety risks, while helping the EPA monitor pollution.

As regional drainage authority and delegated floodplain manager, we have responsibility to provide a safe, effective system for dealing with run-off.
