TODS Stormwater Comments - TODs

It is noted that this pipe does not appear on Councils mapping and on closer inspection of the area
and the pipe it is concluded that it is not connected to any drainage pits on David Low Way or west
of the road.

In addition, the road embankment does not contain any swale drain or berm directing run off from the
road towards the inlet structure. The small amount of stormwater runoff from David Low Way sheet
flows down the embankment and across the properties below the road, and from our inspection it is
evident that there has been no water flowing into the pipe for a substantial period of time. As such it
is concluded that the pipe that traverses 4 Tristania Drive is no longer in service and has been made
redundant due to past upgrades to David Low Way. It is therefore recommended that the pipe be
removed and the section of pipe between footpath area of Tristania Drive and the manhole be plugged
with concrete to avoid ripping up the road pavement.

3. Conclusion

We believe that this report demonstrates that the existing stormwater pipe located within the property
at 4 Tristania Drive, Marcus Beach is redundant infrastructure and can be removed from the property.
As such we seek Councils support for this action.
