Water Watch

Water Watch

The City of Monash is a regional sponsor of Waterwatch, a national community water quality monitoring program run by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) in-conjunction with Melbourne Water.

Through Waterwatch, groups can test and monitor the quality of water in our creeks and streams, link with each other, share discoveries, compare findings and build a picture of the health of waterways across Australia.

School or community groups wanting to undertake water quality monitoring need to first attend a short training session. A monitoring kit is available for loan from Council for groups who have undertaken this training.

Contact Trish Grant, Boonerwrung Region Waterwatch Coordinator (DSE) on 0408 177 917.

Make improvements at your rooming house - Save money save energy

If your property is a registered Victorian Rooming House you are eligible to apply for a free energy and water assessment and retrofit.

The Rooming Houses Project provides free energy and water assessments and upgrades to common areas of registered rooming houses.

The project offers three main benefits to landlords and their tenants including:

  • reduced energy and water usage
  • improved amenity and comfort - houses are warmer in winter and cooler in summer
  • improved environmental outcomes
