Melton Reservoir

Melton Reservoir (also known as Exford Weir) is located on the Werribee River approximately six kilometres south of the township of Melton. It is a popular area for recreation.

The Melton Recreational Reserve picnic area is opened to the public and facilities include a playground and toilets.

Land-based fishing is permitted anywhere on the reservoir shoreline accessed via Clarkes Road or Waterford Estate.

Powered boating south of the railway bridge is under the control of the Melbourne Runabout and Speedboat Club. Non-powered craft can access the reservoir from Clarkes Road, however they must remain north of the railway bridge.

Southern Rural Water manages dams and catchments carefully to maintain a high-quality supply of water. Visitors are encouraged to minimise any impact to Melton Reservoir and its surrounds and to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time there.
