Check the overlay
Use the current Bundaberg planning scheme and property mapping.
What the job involves
A landscape can change how rain is stored and conveyed. Filling a low area, building a retaining edge or concentrating runoff may solve one symptom while worsening another location.
Decisions that shape the scope
Map flow paths
Identify where water enters, ponds and leaves during meaningful rain.
Limit assumptions
A visual assessment may not replace survey, hydraulic or engineering advice.
Stage carefully
Keep temporary earthworks and stockpiles from obstructing drainage.
Local planning point
What to check in this market

Ask each responding provider to put the proposed scope, assumptions, exclusions and responsibilities in writing. A lower figure is not a saving if it omits preparation, access, disposal, approvals or completion work that another quote includes.
