We’re transforming the heritage listed MOS pipeline reserve, along the Federation Trail bike path, into parkland and community space for Melbourne’s growing west.
The project is organised into nine zones, with much of the transformation occurring inside Wyndham City. From Werribee to the City, more trees, parkland, community event spaces, play spaces, and community gardens are being created to improve liveability and sustainability for decades to come.
Greening the Pipeline is a collaborative alliance between Wyndham City Council, Melbourne Water, Greater Western Water, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, the Department of Transport and Traditional Owners, supported by Greening the West.
Wyndham City Council is working with the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation to ensure Traditional Owner interests and values are embedded into park design and creation.
The project is funded by the Victorian Government through the Suburban Parks Program and More Trees for a Cooler Greener West, Greater Western Water’s Stormwater Harvesting Partnership fund and Melbourne Water’s Living Rivers program.
