Werribee Irrigation District

The Werribee Irrigation District is a major agricultural area, located in Werribee, Victoria, approximately 30–40 km southwest of Melbourne.

It is one of the state’s key food-producing regions, particularly known for growing vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and celery.

The district covers about 3,000 hectares of farmland, with farming business supplying fresh produce to Melbourne’s markets and supermarkets.

The district primarily sources water from the Werribee River, Pykes Creek Reservoir, and Melton Reservoir, with some use of recycled water from the Western Treatment Plant.
