Backyard affected,the cleanup is timely but adds more site mud to the creek, doesn't fully address pedestrian safety - Overnight storm on 16 December 2025
Part of the project management response to Storm 4 was to direct mud etc into the creek !
Key takeaways:
fourth time in 44 days construction site stormwater pollutants and debris flowed into creek and partly blocked roads.
At least one Viola place household had polluted stormwater in their backyard
Contractor emptied the polluted retention basin into a stormwater pit and washed other pollutants on the street and footpaths into the creek!

The cleanup included emptying the on-site sediment retention basin water into a stormwater drain and hosing the dirt at the entrance to Dianella Court into stormwater drains. This added more sediment to the creek.
