As part of the Enhancing Our Dandenong Creek program, Melbourne Water is working with stakeholders and the community to improve the habitat, ecology and amenity of Dandenong Creek.
We’re undertaking a four-year program aimed at controlling rapidly-spreading weed species and revegetation with native species along a 2.3km section of Dandenong Creek, from Ferntree Gully Road to Mulgrave Reserve.
We’re improving the vegetation in Bungalook Creek to enhance biodiversity in the area.
We’re working to improve the health of the Little Yarra River in Yarra Junction, by undertaking weed control and revegetation along the streamside.
We’re working hard to protect the lower Watts River catchment from an aggressive weed, red cestrum.
We’re undertaking a ten-year program to completely eradicate Spartina, an introduced grass species, from Western Port by 2025.
We’re working to remove an infestation of water weed (water hyacinth) discovered on our land within Namatjira Park.
We’re embarking on a major program that will see over 60km of the Birrarung (Yarra River) receive a dedicated renewal over five years from 2022-2026 to help promote the health of our landmark waterway.
