Principal Sponsor

Melbourne Water is owned by the Victorian Government.  We manage Melbourne's water supply catchments, remove and treat most of Melbourne's sewage, and manage rivers and creeks and major drainage systems throughout the Port Phillip and Westernport region.  We are responsible for managing $8.4 billion in water supply, sewerage and drainage assets, and we are committed to looking after these in a way that protects and improves their environmental, social and financial values.

In our role as waterway manager, we are the caretaker of river health for an area of 12,800 square kilometres.

As the caretaker of river health in the Port Phillip and Westernport region we manage:

• rivers and creeks
• floodplains - the land surrounding rivers and creeks that can sometimes experience flooding
• the regional drainage system - drains, gutters and channels that carry rainwater from roofs, roads and buildings to rivers and creeks.

We aim to:

• make sure our rivers, creeks and wetlands are popular places to visit
• have healthy rivers and creeks with more native animals and plants
• provide a safe level of flood protection for communities
• work with communities to protect our rivers and creeks
• protect water quality and meet State environment protection targets
• make sure urban development does not harm our rivers and creeks
• base long-term decisions on research and monitoring
• achieve a balance between social, economic and environmental outcomes.

In our region, we manage approximately:

• 8400 kilometres of rivers and creeks
• 1200 kilometres of drains
• $2.7 billion in drainage and waterway assets
• 900 wetlands
• 280 monitoring stations on waterways and drains
• 67 urban lakes.
