Key findings
Stormwater and creeks
   • 10.1% of survey responses mentioned stormwater or creek/s
   • This was also raised in 4 of the 13 community pop-ups
Major themes included:
   • Improve the channelling of stormwater runoff away from the foreshores, particularly
       following heavy rain events
   • Address water quality in Burgess Creek and work with Unity Water to upgrade filtration from
       their treatment plant
   • Place greater emphasis on the issue of erosion at the mouth of creek outlets to the beach
