  • Better Water Resources Forecasts for Melbourne

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 MERNDA 3, PLENTY RIVER FLUME
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 MERNDA 3, PLENTY RIVER FLUME Location: YAN YEAN PIPE TRACK MERNDA, Whittlesea City Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: H7922-0038 Listing Authority: HI Heritage Inventory Citation High. Has been listed on Govt Buildings register and classified by Nat Trust. Statement of Significance: The Plenty River Flume is part of the Yan Yean Water Supply System and originally supplied water to Melbourne. The flume was constructed in 1879 to replace an old damaged bridge which formed part of the Morang Aqueduct and carried water from the Yan Yean Reservoir to a small storage basin known as the pipe- head reservoir. The flume was designed by engineer William Davidson and is supported by three basalt piers which were locally quarried and hewn. Each pier has a clean, dressed cutwater to cope with the Plenty River floods and has coursed face basalt blockwork abutments with dressed basalt cappings. The flume itself is of bolted wrought iron plate construction, approximately 1.5 by 1.2 metres and 70 metres long. There is a set of rollers above each basalt column to accommodate expansion and contraction of the metal flume. The flume is no longer used and whilst now uncovered, was covered with timber when in use. The Plenty River Flume is of historical and architectural importance to the State of Victoria. The Plenty River Flume is of historical importance for its association with the supply of reticulated water to Melbourne from the Yan Yean Reservoir. The Yan Yean reservoir and its associated structures are of exceptional importance as the earliest metropolitan water supply system in Victoria and its construction represented a major engineering feat in the late 1850s.
