(1) No actions are required to be undertaken by the Water Corporation to address maintenance tasks, as drain maintenance does not form part of the report.
(2) No funding has been supplied by the Water Corporation to address the management actions in the report, as the actions do not refer to drainage maintenance. The Corporation funds its normal drainage maintenance program through its annual budget.
(3) The Department of Water does not own or manage any drainage infrastructure.
(4) The Department of Water is not responsible for drainage infrastructure maintenance tasks.
(5) Not applicable
