To Whom it May Concern,




I was the Managing Director of Tate Professional Engineers when we prepared the civil design drawings for
Grosvenor Tc, Noosa Heads. The attached photograph of the frontage of Lots numbered 17 and 18 and the attached
annotated, original design drawings indicate that subsequent to the original design and construction several
amendments have been made to the configuration of the street. These changes include filling of the swale drain on
the frontages of Lots 16,17 and 18, replacement of the concrete edge restraint on these lot frontages with Kerb and
Channel and replacement of the in-swale pit with a side inlet pit within the roadway.


These changes made the existing swale drain on the frontage of lot 19 (Street Address 12 Grosvenor TC) ineffective
and redundant as it effectively removed the point of discharge for this drain.




The removal of the downstream drain left the owner of Number 12 with little choice other than to adopt the new
crossfall from the property frontage down to the road edge as per the downstream frontages or allow ponding to
occur in the road verge in front of his property. As a consequence of the downstream changes the driveway
crossover was constructed to match the new crossfall.




I consider it to be incongruous that Council would request changes to the driveway of number 12 when the original
design has been significantly altered by the downstream actions of others.




Regards,


Justin Walsh

Managing Director
