Sewer manhole collapse closes footpath

13 February 2020

No risk to community health or environment

Council crews are on site at a sewer manhole collapse on the corner of Leisure and Darlington drives, Banora Point.

The cause of the collapse is not yet known.

“There are no risks to the community or the environment as the sewerage is still contained within the pipe system,” Manager Water and Wastewater Operations Brie Jowett said.

The site of the collapse will be barricaded off to ensure pedestrian safety and a road closure may be necessary if there is a chance it could be undermined.

Emergency repairs will be undertaken.

Full repairs will be scheduled as soon as possible as the weather permits.
