Greenvale Reservoir plays a critical role in supplying water to Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs. In November 2024, the Victorian Government committed to reopening the southern section of the park that borders the reservoir.
We’re working in partnership with Parks Victoria to deliver this commitment. Since April 2025 we’ve been undertaking basic work to make the area safe for the public, while also protecting Melbourne’s water supplies.
What’s happening
In 2018, the southern parkland was closed to the public while we delivered critical water supply and safety upgrades to the dam. Now these works are complete, we’re making the necessary improvements to reopen the park for public use. This includes:
- new entry points for pedestrians and vehicles
- upgraded walking trails
- toilets
- barbecues
- critical vegetation clean-up and tree safety works.
Cars will be able to access the park via Somerton Road.
