How to replace footpath inspection cover?

[Punky100]

Someone stole this plate. (*See photos) on my footpath and I have had Darebin council telling me its my responsibily and I have to pay for it. Its an inspection point for my storm water pipe I think. Where can I get one of these or something to close the hole?

It looks great seriously. It was a huge thing you did for me and I'm so thankful whether it fits or not. I can get my dad to help install it as I have problems with my hands. Again thankyou and please private message me so I can at least pay you for postage.

G'day @Punky100 

"I have problems with my hands."

I am sorry to read that.

If there are problems, please let me know. Maybe your dad can file or angle grind? The hole distance does concern me - but I'll wait and see.

Should it fit - just knowing a 'piece of me' is now residing on a Melbourne sidewalk - is enough reward for me.

I've just sent the parcel off.

Cheers

Graeme.

I received the lid today Graeme and it fits the hole well. The screw holes seem to line up so all good. The thickness is great and you did a great job!  Will get my dad to install the 2 screws/ bolts preferably with anti theft type. Cheers you're a legend
