Greening the Pipeline
Planning, design & management
Greening the Pipeline is a showcase project that repurposes a historic open channel that was used to convey sewerage from Melbourne to the Western Treatment Plant.
Foresight assisted the Wyndham City Council in transforming the heritage listed MOS pipeline reserve, along the Federation Trail bike path, into parkland and community space for Melbourne’s growing west.
This channel and the surrounding linear reserve are now being converted into a large-scale open-space greening project.
Foresight Advisory has been involved in the planning, design, construction management, operation and maintenance of the Arndell Park Stormwater Harvesting scheme which is a critical stage of the Greening the Pipeline project, providing over 20ML/year of harvested and treated stormwater supporting the greening of this extensive green corridor.
The project includes the development of a 20-megalitre stormwater harvesting system, which will provide a sustainable source of irrigation for the new parkland. The stormwater harvesting and irrigation system will ensure a reliable water source for landscape within the area.
This project will not only enhance the availability of green,
open spaces but also contribute to urban cooling, addressing climate change challenges for communities in Melbourne's west.
