Ella's Ridge Subdivision Ella Mae Court Drainage Basin 002

http://homebuildandrenobuddy.com/
G'day Everyone,
In this video I wanted to show you the type of issues that can arise when doing larger subdivisions. At Ella-Mae Court out at Ella's Ridge we had a situation where in the local councils eyes we did not have sufficient drainage capacity. I maintain that this is a load of rubbish but they are the ones you have to get approval off. In this instance we had to create a drainage basin to the rear of 3 of the lots so that in the event of a major storm the water could catch in this basin and drain away slowly. Given that we back onto a fruitblock that would gladly accept the water flooding down onto it given the drought I would have thought that in any major rain even there was enough land to dispurse the water onto so that a bisin was not required. But alas imbosile Council engineers had other ideas and made us put this use less waste of space and money basin in. Just some of the trials and tribulations of developing.
Cheers, You're Buddy, Dion
