In April, Melbourne Water released new flood modelling for the Maribyrnong River to help the community and agencies better understand flood risk across the catchment.
This three-year project in the Macedon Ranges is investigating the financial and environmental benefits of using urban recycled green waste as a mulch and compost under vines.
Explore the latest updates and information about the new flood modelling for the Maribyrnong River.
Climate-smart, sustainable agricultural practices is facilitated by the Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator (SAF) to support farmers in the Port Phillip and Westernport region
The Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator (SAF) supports farmers in the Port Phillip and Westernport region to adopt climate-smart, sustainable agricultural practices.
This ongoing project led by the Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator supports farmers in the Port Phillip and Western Port region to document the biodiversity assets on your farm, take biodiversity action and increase your sustainability and eco-credentials.
This page provides local information on dung beetles for the Melbourne Water catchment. In previous years, breeding nurseries were established for new species of dung beetles to hasten the breeding and establishment of beetles in the region. Many of these sites have been impacted by extended waterlogging during La Nina cycles and we hope to re-commence breeding new species in 2023/24.
This National Science Week, visit the Western Treatment Plant to learn about the science and innovation that ensures wildlife (including some of the world’s rarest birds and frogs!) will thrive for generations to come.
The fallout from the Derrimut chemical fire continues as Melbourne Water has received and continues treating 12 million litres of contaminated firewater at its Western Treatment Plant (WTP): the equivalent of six Olympic swimming pools.
