Description: Due to the wet weather since early 2024, potential leachate-impacted water has been identified in two drainpipes.
Status: The fencing around the playground area has been repurposed to strengthen access restrictions to the drainpipes in preparation for the investigation works. The pipework has been cleaned, and CCTV inspections are being conducted to identify any leachate ingress. Council is currently assessing the pipe condition to determine the appropriate remediation measures.
A bigger remediation project is planned for this site, for information please visit Judy Holt Park | Redland City Council.
