Run off water from I understand that our problem is very minor if
other houses
compared with others who have suffered a lot more
than us, but as my wife and I are both in our 70s, it is
a very big worry and stress. We have neighbours who
may of done the wrong thing in building sheds and
constructed concrete slabs the wrong way with no
slope. We are scared to complain.

The Harrington Park Lake is consistently
contaminated with what appears to be blue/green
and red algae often with a foul smell and unsightly
putrid looking water. Nevertheless drainage of the
water in times of heavy rain appears to be currently
sufficient.

work done to clear the creek and other flood
mitigation prevented subsequent flooding
