Reimagining Moonee Ponds Creek

Melbourne Water and the Chain of Ponds Collaboration are working with the community to reimagine a section of Moonee Ponds Creek (Brosnan Cres, Strathmore) to create a more appealing waterway, activate open space, enhance recreational opportunities along the creek and improve waterway health.

Description

This exciting project springs from a $5million grant awarded to the Chain of Ponds Collaboration as part of the Government's Building Works program - getting thousands of people back to work as we recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

Partners include Melbourne Water, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), Merri-bek Council and Moonee Valley Council. The project area includes a 400 m section of the creek in Strathmore/Oak Park. It will deliver a range of benefits including increased pedestrian access points, connectivity and recreational facilities, as well as increased community use of a linear park along the creek.

The project aims to achieve lasting social, environmental and community outcomes that will provide inspiration for future sections of the creek to be transformed.
