5.0      SLOPE STABILITY ASSESSMENT
5.1      Existing Conditions
The Noosa Planning Scheme 2020 includes a landslide hazard overlay map (Ref. extract in Text Figure 8)
which indicates that the site is within a Moderate Landslide Hazard Area. It is noted that the Noosa Drive
reserve and road corridor below the site to the north is not classified in the overlay mapping.

Text Figure 8: Extract from NC landslide hazard overlay mapping

It should be noted that the NC landslide hazard map is a broad-scale indication of the potential landslide
susceptibility and is superseded by this site-specific assessment. The allotment did not exhibit any visible
surface features which would indicate global slope instability during our walkover: no landslide back
scarps, noteworthy groundwater seepage or areas of naturally ‘hummocky’ ground were observed.
Medium dense sands were encountered at all the investigation locations, at depths ranging from about
2.8 m to 3.6 m BGL (existing), with dense sands below.
