Development has taken place to the east and north of Riverhead Terrace, which is partially complete. The new development is significantly higher than the Terrace, and has severed the natural drainage and flow routes from Riverhead Terrace, such that surface water from the Terrace and land to the north is trapped against the new development. The only means of surface water disposal from Riverhead Terrace is now via a combined gravity system with an assisted foul pumping station. The pumping station was installed, subsequent to development, at the east of Riverhead Terrace.
