Does a retaining wall's engineering account for future climate-driven rainfall increases?

Engineering design genuinely follows current Australian Standards and rainfall intensity data, which are periodically updated to reflect evolving climate data over time, rather than a single static figure fixed decades ago.

Building genuinely proper drainage capacity into a retaining wall’s design (rather than the bare minimum) is a sensible, practical way to add some real margin, worth discussing with your engineer.
