August Winds Have Caused Cool Weather And Collapse of A Fence - Shennan Walkway Mount Druitt

The month of August of each year, in relation to weather is commonly called the 'August Winds'. This is sue to being the windiest month of the calendar year, based on specific locations in Australia, although sometime it might also be towards the end of month July of each year.

Still being part of the winter season, officially the last month of winter -  it is the change that comes  before commencing the season of Spring before the 1st September.

I have just noticed recently, the dividing fence between a private property of flats and Shennan Walkway, Mount Druitt has collapsed due to these 'August Winds' over the last weekend. I though stake holders would have been on it already.

It doesn't pose a high risk to the community as where the fence has fallen, is not where  the community walks. That being that I'm sure that the residents on the block of flats would like it to be more secured.  Closer inspection of the fence, posed a question to myself. Did this fence have proper posts cemented into the ground? To me it appeared not.

We hope that Blacktown City Council with the Strata Managers of this block of flats, remove this fence and provide a better secured fence to prevent the fall of the fence in  other times of potential high winds.
