A stormwater report like this should: Sometimes the development of a project site requires the revisioning or evolving of a previous drainage strategy or development plan established by others (often the relevant authority). This can often be the result of new information, more accurate survey, differing timelines, change in government approach and new policies, amongst many others. This change requires knowledge of the local area, municipality and receiving environment.
