The Little Stringybark Creek Project is a research program co-ordinated by The University of Melbourne and Monash University. It is putting into practice new approaches to stormwater management, that focus on improving the health of creeks and rivers.

Working with local government, water authorities and residents, the project will test the design and implementation of real, on-ground solutions. Most importantly, the project will test how stormwater management can be improved in established suburbs, like Mt Evelyn.
 

This will be a world-first demonstration of restoring an urban creek by fixing up its biggest problem first: urban stormwater runoff.
