Melbourne is one of only two cities in the world with drinking water that primarily comes from protected catchments. Most of these catchments have limited public access, producing very clean water that needs little treatment, and is therefore cheaper to supply.

What’s happening

The existing chain mesh fence around Greenvale Reservoir will be replaced with a high security fence to enhance the security of the drinking water in the reservoir.

As part of this project, we’ll be installing:

  • a new high-security fence to replace the existing one,
  • CCTV and intruder detection devices at some locations.

The new fence will ensure we meet our obligations to protect Australia’s critical infrastructure.

It will still allow access to the northern and southern sections of the reservoir park.
