This document contains: A summary of existing information relevant to the management of stormwater in the catchment; Catchment specific objectives for management of stormwater runoff from the catchment; Potential management strategies that may be used to meet the identified management objectives; Estimated costs and benefits associated with each of the strategies; and A clear definition of the priorities, responsibilities and timeframe for implementation of the Stormwater Management Plan. The Stormwater Management Plan area is 2,240 hectares and is not defined by a typical single contributory catchment area, but of numerous individual catchments that all discharge individually to either the Port River or Gulf of St Vincent. The plan boundary area is entirely within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The topography of the Lefevre Peninsula is characterised by undulating coastal dunes to the west and open flat low‐lying land to the east. This topography has resulted in a number of low‐ lying areas and trapped low points that are unable to be serviced by conventional gravity drainage systems, requiring the use of pumped systems and/or soakage (infiltration) systems for stormwater disposal. These low‐lying areas and trapped low points do not have a natural overflow path to the Port River or Gulf of St Vincent, and therefore stormwater flows in excess of the pump or infiltration capacity are required to pond in the road carriageway, and the ingress of flows to private property has been known to occur during large rainfall events.
