- Preliminary risk assessment that identifies existing and future problem areas in terms of drainage issues and potential adverse impacts on residential properties;
- Review of the Landscape Master Plan, Implementation Summary report and assess against drainage improvements nominated by JJR. Indicative interface drainage treatment;
- Recommendations for future design and maintenance outcomes in terms of how to develop an overall strategy and implantation plan to improve, upgrade and maintain the drainage; and
