can you add a slight mound higher than the gutter on your side when you surface your driveway

Discuss with a hydraulic engineer and councils own engineer. As oklouise suggested it'll probably require a mound higher than gutter. You may need the driveway designed by an engineer to be compliant.

Thank you for comments, and suggestions because the verge (and my driveway) were originally higher but eroded with the sheer volume and velocity of water flowing down from the road. The lack of a drainage pit means I am concerned that whatever work I get done is impacted by that. I will continue trying to find out who the council drainage engineer is and speak with that person, however the council worker (non engineer) who inspected the site said flat out council would do nothing except put a bitumen hump in again and wait and see. The concreting contractor said not to think about stormwater but only about the driveway, however those 2 issues are connected. If the council engineer has software to determine water flow and could provide some solid technical evidence to mitigate risk of failure when 2 different kerb profiles are joined up I would be going in eyes wide open rather than taking a chance.

UPDATE - process stalled and complicated by inadequate file management by council, divergent opinions on standards and quality and intrusion by neighbour who applied to have right of way access across the verge adjoining my property (neighbour has own layback and kng). Seems like project gazumped/overtaken so applied to acess to my file to sort out confusion but not permitted to have notes about meetings and decisions that the neighbour has had using my file reference including notes like raising something 5mm! In for the long haul trying to deal with this scenario, thanks for the previous suggestions.

Good luck
