Projects

The Two Great Ramsar Wetlands project is a five-year project (2018-23) led by Melbourne Water that aims to bring key agencies, land managers and community groups together to reduce the threats to the Port Phillip and Western Port Ramsar sites at Port Phillip Bay (western shoreline) and Western Port.

Government and industry have partnered to transform a stretch of the Upper Stony Creek into a new open space for Sunshine North residents to enjoy.

We’re working to remove an infestation of water weed (water hyacinth) discovered on our land within Namatjira Park.

The Waterways of the West – Traditional Owner Engagement Project links community environmental groups based in the Maribyrnong and Werribee catchments with the cultural knowledge and land management expertise of Traditional Owners.

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’re upgrading the Western Trunk Sewer, a vital part of our sewerage network that has reached the end of its service life. The sewer transfers 57% of Melbourne’s sewage to the Western Treatment Plant in Werribee.

Melbourne Water is building new infrastructure to meet growing demand for water Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs.

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.

We’re improving the health of the Yarra River, section by section, from Dee River, Millgrove to Melba Highway, Yarra Glen.
