3.2.1 Groundwater
It is unclear whether any groundwater seepage was present on site at the time of the inspection.

3.2.2 Surface Drainage
Little to no surface drainage was identified on the site. Natural overland flow is the only
mechanism currently directing water down slope into the creek at the base of the steep bushland
to the north of the property.

3.2.3 Vegetation
The south-western corner of the property is largely cleared with some established trees spread
around the proposed development area. To the south of the cleared area the slope becomes
steeper and the vegetation becomes denser with large trees and shrubs. Where the property had
been cleared, well established grass covered the area though down slope where the vegetation
becomes more dense there is very little ground cover and the soil is largely exposed.

3.2.4 Buildings, other structures
The property is currently vacant and does not have any structures on it besides rural fencing.

3.2.5 Site Classification
A site classification report has been previously completed by others and is outside the scope of
this report.

4 SLOPE RISK ASSESSMENT

4.1 Introduction
Utilising the Australian Geomechanics Society Guidelines for Landslide Risk Management (2007)
risk assessment methodology, and provided that the development construction and post
construction maintenance of the site is undertaken in accordance with the restrictions and
precautions outlined in Section 5, the site assessed risk level is considered to be Low.
