Melburnians were not glued to their seat during this year’s AFL Grand Final, taking toilet breaks throughout the game rather than holding on for the final siren, according to Melbourne Water’s water usage analysis, with only a 17.2% increase in water usage after the final siren.
In Melbourne, our rivers and creeks are essential to our way of life. That’s why at Melbourne Water we’re removing weeds and planting native plants along a 3km stretch of Haunted Gully Creek. Once established, the vegetation will protect the banks of the creek and provide habitat so our native wildlife can thrive.
At Melbourne Water, we aim to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive online space for everyone engaging with us on our social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and YouTube.
