How to fix side yard water ponding?

Hi Bunnings community,

 

If someone can provide some suggestions/solution to the above, it will be much appreciated.

We have water ponding issues in our side yard, due to a slightly uneven land/poor drainage. The drain gate is circled in red.

How should we tackle this issue? Should we put in place some drainage channel and grate? If so, where should we place it? Is this something we can attempt on our own or is it best to engage professionals?

Once water ponding issue is fixed, we do intend to remove the grass and transform our side yard with pavers and gravels.
