A wall in the wet corner of the yard
- Cause
- The wall goes where water already pools after a storm, because that's where the level change is.
- Why it matters
- Logan's planning scheme has a flood hazard overlay, and Council endorsed limiting its mapping to the 1 in 100 annual chance flood event. Low ground can carry extra rules and extra water.
- Our solution
- Look up your lot on Council's flood maps first, then ask a licensed landscaper or engineer about levels and where the water should go.
- Prevention / next step
- Keep walls out of obvious flow paths and plan the drain outlet from day one.
Signs to watch for:
- Puddles that sit for days
- Silt left on paths after rain
