Drainage dispute delays road safety project case Boorowa council
Long description covers a 4 by 4 foot stone and timber culvert with three 16 inch pipes, costing about £450. The plan would drain rain runoff away from Moona and Johnson properties, but would not be on Main Road funding. Mr Gurney may claim against the Council for diverting drainage onto his property. The proposed drain runs from the hill above Moona’s shop to Gurney’s garden, outside road formation, leaving the Council responsible for costs. The Johnson shop risk and verandah work are noted as potential mitigations, while Boorowa trunk work remains unfunded.
