Yarra Valley Water’s efforts to create new wetland habitat for the critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater and lowland Leadbeater’s Possum are progressing.
The Upper Yarra Sewage Treatment Plant habitat restoration will create over 35 hectares of new wetland at their Upper Yarra Sewage Treatment Plant site in Dalry Road, Launching Place.
Earthworks will continue and a predator proof fence will be installed next year.
Yarra Valley Water expect to start planting native vegetation in September 2026.
Locals should expect more vehicles, trucks and machinery travelling to the site on Dalry Road.
Additional dust and noise may arise due to earth moving works.
But water and sewerage services will not be affected.
