Dear Mr Mulligan
MAINTENANCE OF DRAIN BETWEEN THE
I refer to our meeting
on 16 August 2006 and the maintenance of the large swale drain in between the
Primary School and the High School.
You indicated that the
High School maintained the upstream end of the drain but the steeper downstream
end is not maintained by the Primary or High Schools. You suggested that maintenance of the drain
is Council's responsibility.
I have now checked the
Deposited Plan No 1022651 and there is no defined drainage easement.
I have also sought
advice from Council's drainage Engineer who has advised that the only
maintenance undertaken by Council in the past has been repairs to the inlet of
the pipes. He is of the view that the
maintenance of the drain is not Council's responsibility.
Please find attached
aerial photographs and a design drawing indicating the location of the drain in
relation to property boundaries.
Yours faithfully
