Dear Neighbours,

According to the latest Melbourne flood maps, here in the Devon-Miller St area our homes face severe inundation in the event of an extreme flood event as we sit over an old Merri Creek tributary, a natural path for water flow.

The red strip you see on the latest flood map is the Devon/Miller junction and it could in extreme conditions experience water levels of 7 metres, a really frightening prospect for residents.

Added to this concern is the current poor state of the stormwater drain on this corner: narrow and always full of debris, pooling water after every rainfall. This drain needs an urgent overhaul to cope with current and future needs. I have contacted the council authority and they agree that remedial work needs to be done here but it sits in a long queue. They also advised that a strong petition may well expedite action on this.

Would you please help me petition Darebin Council here online and independently by phone to upgrade this drain as a matter of urgency to protect and mitigate against our common flood risk.

Thankyou! Bronwyn at 5 Devon St (drop in to chat too!)
