MMBW Plans Online

Part of the Library’s collection of MMBW plans has been digitised and made accessible online via the Library's Main Catalogue. A custom-built interactive application enables three levels of linked plans to be browsed, searched, zoomed and printed. The plans, produced to build Melbourne's sewerage system, provide a significant historical record of Melbourne streetscapes and features. Learn more about the plans and how to use them.
