Melbourne Water
Working together to keep all 25,000km of Melbourne’s rivers, creeks and catchments healthy
The Port Phillip and Western Port region is home to more than five million people and includes urban Melbourne, growth centres on the urban fringe, highly productive farming, forested parks and ranges, and a network of rivers, wetlands and estuaries which flow to our two valuable bays Port Phillip Bay and Western Port.
The region faces numerous, complex challenges including climate change, increasing urbanisation and population growth, and loss of biodiversity.
