ABOUT THE PROJECT
Charles Mutton Reserve
Charles Mutton Reserve is located in Fawkner, north of Melbourne CBD. It is primarily used as a sports ground by local AFL, Cricket, Tennis and Bowls Clubs. To help maintains the numerous grounds in good condition all year round, Council is implementing a stormwater harvesting scheme designed to utilise the existing irrigation system. The system captures stormwater runoff from adjacent Melbourne Water drains and supplies 16ML of treated water which is equivalent to 75% of the current water demand, resulting in a significant enhancement for the reserve and the council.
