Maintained by Property Owner
		Driveway culverts are usually installed to provide access to private property. Maintenance and clearing of driveway culverts is the responsibility of the property owner. In some instances we will assist with the clearing of culverts but only when the blockage appears to have resulted from issues with council controlled assets (eg crushed rock washed into drain from road during a storm).
