LGOIMA Request Details: LG2421

Further to your information request, the information is below; 

1. Drain: all records noting/flagging the need to upgrade the open drain to an underground solution; maintenance/inspection history; incident/flood complaint history; asset ownership/responsibility details (including any asset ID); and any deferred renewal or upgrade programming.  

The subject drain is privately owned, and responsibility for its ownership and maintenance rests with the private owner. As previously communicated, Council has future plans to upgrade the upstream catchment, which will result in significant improvements to the subject area. At this stage, detailed design work has not yet been completed, however I can confirm that funding for the upgrade has been allocated in the Long Term Plan for Financial Year 4 (2028–2029). 

2. Tree: land ownership mapping for the poplar location; any existing arborist reports, risk assessments, inspection logs, maintenance records, and any prior complaints or service requests about the tree.  

Council holds no records on private trees. Private property owners are responsible for the maintenance of trees within their property.
