Kerb and channel
Kerb and channels are more commonly known as gutters.

Kerb and channels form a barrier between the road pavement and the naturestrip which aims to:

  • direct stormwater into stormwater drains and

  • protect the edge of the road from erosion.

We maintain kerbs and regularly use street sweeping machines to prevent the build-up of leaves and debris in the channels.

We construct new kerbs in streets which have never had them under a Special Charge Scheme whereby abutting property owners contribute towards the cost of the work.

  • You need to contact a plumber if you believe you have damaged or have a blocked pipe belonging to the property. We can help if you think the blockage is due to a City owned stormwater pit or blocked stormwater pipe.
  • If the damage on a nature strip is caused by a service provider the damage should be repaired by the relevant service provider. If it is unknown who caused the damage please report the damage so that we will investigate the matter further.
  • You can report a footpath issue online or contact us to advise of any footpath issues.
