1         INTRODUCTION
Arcos Unit Group Pty Ltd (Arcos Group) was commissioned to undertake a geotechnical investigation for the project
at the location described on the title page of this report.
This report outlines the results of the investigation, laboratory testing, analysis, and interpretive reporting on the
following items:
 Review of the existing slope stability hazards, their attributed risks and impacts of the proposed development in
  alignment with the practices set out within the Australian Geomechanics Society guidelines; and,
 Provide recommendations from a geotechnical context that will avoid or reduce any potential instability.
This report must be kept in entirety. The use of this document is exclusively undertaken in accordance with our terms
and conditions.

2         REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The site is in an area underlain by the Middle Triassic aged Kin Kin Beds Formation, which typically comprises
“Strongly cleaved and commonly kinked mudstone with thin siltstone laminae; minor volcanilithic sandstone”.

3         EXISTING STABILITY RISK
Local authorities prepare mapping tools to aid in assessing potential slope stability requirements. The mapping tools
are a “high level” approach where the site specific investigations are specific to a particular site/allotment. It is
important to note that where a site specific investigation and slope stability assessment are undertaken, they take
precedence.
Reference to the available overlays for the area show the site has been initially mapped as “Moderate” in terms of
landslide hazard.

4         GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
A site classification investigation was undertaken by Global Testing on 23 May 2023. The purpose of the investigation
was to inform the site classification and effluent design for the proposed secondary dwelling. The investigation
comprised the drilling and logging of 5 boreholes at the location of the proposed secondary dwelling and the proposed
effluent irrigation area (refer test location plan). The subsurface conditions encountered in the boreholes generally
comprised potentially uncontrolled clayey sand fill to approximately 0.5 m depth, overlying stiff or stronger sany and
silty clays to termination of the bores at 4 m depth

5         ASSESSMENT
Geotechnical comments are based on the factual findings of the investigation, best practice, local experience,
published correlations; however, are fundamentally founded in opinion and this should be considered.
A site assessment was undertaken by a graduate geotechnical engineer on 3 July 2023. The allotment is described
as Lot 1 on RP193199 and encompasses approximately 20 000 m2. The site has been proposed to be placed in a
relatively level and clear area near the existing dwelling. Surface levels across the allotment are intially level where
the secondary dwelling is proposed at approximately RL203 (based on Noosa Council Intramaps) before falling away
to the north at angles of approximately 10 – 15 degrees to approximately RL 153. No obvious signs of disturbed
ground, tension cracks or hummocks were noted in the vicinity of the proposed residence during the assessment. A
variety of vegetation ranging from small shrubs to mature trees were observed. The mature trees were all observed
to be typically vertical with no misshapen or curved trunks. Misshapen or curved trunks are usually good indicators
for previous slope instability.

6         AGS ASSESSMENT
Landslides are caused where a soil or rock mass has a decrease in strength, usually attributed to groundwater,
resulting in the material not being able to maintain its own self-weight resulting in a slope failure.
The Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) developed a set of tools and procedures for assessing the stability of
a slope. The tools and procedures presented with the AGS documentation form the basis of the assessment
undertaken herein and their documentation is attached for reference.
The guidelines also identify that the regulator typically sets the standard for levels of tolerable risk. AGS defines
tolerable risk as “risks within a range that society can live with so as to secure certain benefits. It is a range of risk
regarded as non-negligible and needing to be kept under review and reduced further if practicable”.
The guides suggest that areas of moderate or greater risk should not be developed unless a rigorous remediation
plan be implemented to reduce the area to a level of Acceptable Risk. AGS defines acceptable risk as “risk which
everyone affected is prepared to accept. Action to further reduce such risk is usually not required unless reasonably
practicable measures are available at low cost in terms of money, time and effort.”.
AGS suggest that regulators generally accept risk levels of “low” or lower as a level of acceptable risk.
AGS prepared a semi-quantitative assessment tool for determining the level of risk for a site. The tool separates the
potential hazards for a site, from a stability context, and rates them with a level of risk frequency. The multiplication
of these individual risk frequency summates as the risk frequency rating which is then measured against the levels
of risk nominated by AGS.
The results of this analysis are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1: AGS ASSESSMENT

                Hazard                         Likelihood                Consequence                    Risk Level
             Global Failure                   Barely Credible             Catastrophic                       Low
         Creep in Shallow Soils                  Unlikely                    Medium                          Low
  Rotational or translational slide down           Rare                       Major                          Low
                 the slope
          Existing batter failure             Almost Certain              Catastrophic                       Low


Based on the results of the AGS assessment, the perceived risk based on the conditions encountered and information
available at the time of the assessment is “Low”.

7         HILLSIDE CONSTRUCTION
The following works should be implemented in addition to other items highlighted within this document. These points
are considered to be typical good hillside construction practice as explained in attached documentation:
 A minimum footing depth of 1.2 m is recommended. Footings should be founded into stiff (or stronger) natural
  clays.
 Fill should be limited to no more than 1 m and should be step keyed into the existing slope. The fill should be
  formed at no steeper than 3H:1V, unless retained by an engineered retention system. All fill should be placed in
  accordance with AS3798.
 Where slopes are not supported by an engineer designed support system, natural slopes within or near movement
  sensitive areas should be no steeper than 2.5H:1V.

 All stormwater and surface water is to be discharged by an approved stormwater drainage system. The use of
  subsurface drainage systems are not suitable unless greater than 50 m downslope from the envelope at this site.
 Ongoing maintenance of effluent wastewater areas are also considered mandatory.
 Avoid leakage from underground services and drains. Any leaking services or blocked drains should be remedied
  promptly.
 Erosion protection of cut and fill batters will be required. Batters should incorporate crest and toe drainage. Batters
  should be vegetated appropriately to minimise erosion.
 Overland flow paths will need to be carefully directed to approved outlets to minimise erosion possibility.

8         GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections details specific geotechnical constraints or recommendations in addition to general hillside
construction notes.


8.1       FOOTINGS
In accordance with industry standards, a geotechnical engineer from Arcos should undertake the testing within the
footings to confirm that the encountered material is in alignment with the adopted parameters and assumptions
provided within this report. Where this does not occur, Arcos cannot be held liable for any of the information presented
within this report.
All footings will need to be designed to accommodate potential ground surface movement, settlement values and
any additional settlement values associated with the placement of new fill.
Settlement for suitably sized and designed high level footings should be in the order of 1-2% of the width of the
footing.
If footings are located adjacent to an underground service or other obstruction that is not homogenous with the
founding strata, the footing should be extended a minimum 0.3 m below an imaginary line projected at a 45 degree
angle from the lowest point of the service/obstruction. This is depicted graphically for reference:




Where footings found into stiff or stronger clays residual clays, they may be dimensioned for a maximum allowable
bearing pressure of 100 kPa. Based on the borelogs, the above material is encountered at approximately 0.7 m to
0.8 m depth below existing surface levels at the time of the investigation.

                                                                                                       arcosgroup.com.au
                                                                                      Sunshine Coast | Brisbane | Gold Coast




The ultimate geotechnical end bearing and shaft adhesion parameters are presented in Table 2 for deep level
footings where high level footings are not suitable. The values given will need to reduced by applying a suitable
geotechnical strength reduction factor (Φg) for limit state or divided by a suitable factor of safety for working stress
methods. The Φg should be selected by the designer.

 Notes: Fb = Base Bearing (Ultimate); Fs = Shaft Adhesion (Ultimate)


The upper 1 m of soil profile should be ignored in shaft calculations for bored piles to allow for shrinkage cracks. Due
to installation disturbance, shaft adhesion should be ignored for steel screw piles. The values presented in Table 2
assume that the material equal to four pile diameters below the base of any footings is as strong or stronger.
Settlement values are subjected to a variety of factors; however, a properly designed and constructed pile should
have a serviceability settlement between 1% and 2% of its’ diameter.

 JOB NUMBER              23-0572 SITE CLASSIFICATION REPORT
 CLIENT                  Darran Taylor Building
 SITE LOCATION           PROPOSED SECONDARY RESIDENCE.
                         70 Blanckensee Road, Black Mountain QLD, Australia
 REPORT DATE             25/05/2023


1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to classify the subject allotment in accordance with Australian Standard
2870 - 2011 'Residential Slabs and Footings'. From this classification, a footing system can be recom-
mended for the structure so as to allow adequate performance of the footings under the soil conditions
determined at the site.
Trees: There are small (<5m), medium (5-10m), and large (>10m) trees at this site. Global Testing
recommends an experienced arborist be commissioned to quantify the existing size, location, pre-
dicted maximum height and type of these trees to aid in the design process. It is the responsibility of
the designing engineer to apply the principals of AS2870-2011 Appendix H 'Guide to Design of Foot-
ings for Trees'. The classification herein excludes the effect of trees on the site.

PLEASE NOTE: This report does not address slope stability. If a slope stability analysis is re-
quired, the services of a suitably qualified geotechnical engineer should be sought. We can rec-
ommend one or organise this service on your behalf.
It is the designing engineer’s responsibility to address the potential influence of any trees present
on or around the proposed building site.

If any further fill is placed over the existing ground, the structure shall be piered through the fill
into the existing material. Further note that the placement of reactive material as fill, or cutting
of the site may change the site’s classification.


4. SOIL PROFILE
Refer to Soil Profile Report for borelog information.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the borelogs carried out at the subject allotment are
indicative of the soil profile over the site any discrepancy between the profile detailed in the borelogs
and that observed during construction shall be referred to Global Testing for immediate attention.


5. MATERIALS LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
Soil Laboratory testing carried out on samples of the soil taken from the site gave the following results:
                    BOREHOLE                                                 BH1

                                               LIMITATIONS

Recommendations given in this report are based on the information supplied by the client regarding the
proposed building construction in conjunction with the findings of the investigation. Any change in
construction type, building location or omission in the client supplied information, may require addi-
tional testing and/or make the recommendations invalid.


The recommendations herein identify a target soil stratum into which the footings are to be founded.
The target stratum has been located by the depth in mm of the target stratum's upper horizon boundary
below the existing ground surface level at the time of the site investigation. Any cutting or filling works
and any surface erosion or deposits subsequent to the site investigation, will alter the measured location
of the stratum relative to the surface. Where required, the author should be notified in such cases to
confirm the location of the target stratum.


The description of the soil given in the Soil Profile section of this report is intended as a brief overview
of the soil's primary constituents. For a detailed classification of the soil, the reader should refer to the
Soil Profile Reports and/or Borehole Reports attached to this report.

Every reasonable effort has been made to locate the test sites so that the borehole profiles are repre-
sentative of the soil conditions within the area investigated. The client should be made aware however,
that exploration is limited by time available and economic restraints. In some cases, soil conditions can
change dramatically over short distances, therefore, even careful exploration programs may not locate
all the variations.

If soil conditions different from those shown in this report are encountered or are inferred from other
sources, then the author must be notified immediately.

This report may not be reproduced except in full. The information and drawings provided with this
report shall only be used and will only be applicable for the development shown on the client supplied
information provided for this site.

Any dimensions, contours, slope directions and magnitudes shown on the Test Locality Plan shall not
be used for any building construction or costing calculations. The purpose of the plan is to show ap-
proximate location of field tests only.

Any changes made to these recommendations by persons unauthorised by the author will legally be
interpreted as that person assuming the responsibility for the long-term performance of the footing sys-
tem.

The recommendations contained in this report have not taken into consideration the long-term effects
of any previous, current or potential subsurface work by mining companies or potential slope instability
problems. At the time of writing this report neither our client (nor his agent) nor the local authority had
made the author aware that these problems may be affecting this allotment. If a mining subsidence or
slope stability assessment is required for this allotment, the recommendations of a suitably qualified
geotechnical engineer should be sought.
