About the park
The Suburban Parks Program is supporting project partners to transform a section of the decommissioned, heritage-listed Main Outfall Sewer pipeline reserve along the Federation Trail. The pipeline reserve will be converted into a green corridor in Melbourne's west, between Lawrie Emmins Reserve and Skeleton Creek near Truganina. The new open space will connect communities, enhance active transport options, manage water sensitively and provide a unique space to meet, play and relax.
Wyndham City Council is managing the project alongside Traditional Owners and project partners Greater Western Water, Melbourne Water and the Department of Transport and Planning.
The long-term vision of Greening the Pipeline is to transform the sewer pipeline reserve into a 27-kilometre park connecting communities from Werribee to the city.
Where is the park be located?
The parkland runs along the Federation Trail bike path, about 25 kilometres west of Melbourne's CBD, on Bunurong Country.
