Water is one of our most precious resources. Together with our partners and community, we are developing long-term sustainable solutions to manage water supply and protect our waterways.
Sustainably managing our water supply and improving waterway health is vital to support the ecology of our landscapes to thrive in the face of a changing climate, remove pollution from stormwater flows and benefit the health and wellbeing of our community.
The challenges posed by climate change require a collaborative and integrated approach by Council and the community to develop long-term sustainable solutions to managing water supply and protecting our waterways.

The 10-year plan for the Yarra River corridor is a landmark plan that seeks to manage and protect the Yarra River and its parklands as one living and integrated natural entity, and the first to be developed in partnership with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung.
