Suburb is context
Local topography and development patterns suggest questions, but they never replace an inspection, survey or soil information.
Approval is project-specific
Wall height is one condition among surcharge, separation, services, fences, pools and other site constraints.
The outlet matters
Every drainage conversation should identify where collected water can lawfully finish before backfill hides the system.
