4.2.4 Landslide Hazard Overlay
The site is currently mapped as being within a broad area identified as containing potential landslide
hazard area under The Noosa Plan. A site-specific geotechnical report is included from Arcos
Engineers giving recommendations to ensure the stability of the site construction works including
footing design and piling. By developing in accordance with these recommendations the stability of
the site will be maintained in accordance with the outcomes of the overlay code.
