2.0 SITE ASSESSMENT
2.1 GENERAL
The assessment and recommendations contained in this report have been based on the recent

geotechnical investigations carried out and our recent site assessment of the existing sewage

infrastructure on-site.


2.2 PROPERTY DETAILS
The subject site is contained within registered allotment described as Lots 2 SP143409 and is
located at 314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy Mountain within the Sunshine Coast Regional
Council local government area. The area of the allotment is approximately 481,700m2.


2.3 EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
The site consists of an existing five (5) bedroom dwelling and the Cooroy Mountain Spring
Water bottling factory, which is utilised by five (5) daytime staff only. The site also contains
a series of free standing sheds.


2.4 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The owner proposes to direct all wastewater generated by the existing dwelling and factory

office facilities to a centralised STP and effluent disposal area.


2.5 TOPOGRAPHY
The subject allotment is situated over a varying topography with a slope of 5-20% from east
to west, towards the existing creek located in the western portion of the property. The

Sunshine Coast Regional Council online mapping facilities illustrate a site elevation between
110 to 280m AHD.


2.6 SITE HYDROLOGY
It is likely that the majority of rainfall on the site will be absorbed into the soil. However,
during extended periods of heavy rainfall, excess rainfall not adsorbed into the soil profile is
likely to flow towards the watercourse located in the western portion of the property, running

parallel with Cooroy Mountain Road.


2.7 SUB-SURFACE CONDITIONS
A preliminary geotechnical investigation for effluent disposal assessment including
percolation testing was recently carried out within the locations indicated on the Borehole
