ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 1 ‘Introduction ADG Consulting Pty Ltd (ADG) was engaged by Sunshine Beach Noosa Developments Pty Ltd (on behalf of Des Wood) to prepare a Dewatering Management Plan (DMP) for the proposed residential development within property described as Lot 2 on SP281580, situated at 11 Ravenwood Dr, Noosa Heads, Queensland. A previous version of this DMP (RevO dated 20/02/25) was prepared on the basis of a single level basement, which has now been amended to two level, and the DMP has now been revised in response to this change and also in response to a ‘Further Advice — Development Application’ letter received by the project from Noosa Council (reference MCU25/0020, dated 24/09/25). 1.1 Proposed development The proposed development comprises the construction of a two-storey residential dwelling over a two- level in-ground basement on the 622 m’ site. Supplied information indicates that excavations to facilitate the basement construction will extend to a maximum of approximately 7.4 m below ground level (bgl) to approximately RL-5.0 m Australian Height Datum (AHD; assuming local existing surface levels of around 2.4m AHD and a basement slab in the order of 0.4 m thickness). Localised deeper excavations will also be required for the construction of the car stacker overrun pit and other structural elements (i.e. footings and pile caps), where required. Groundwater seepage was previously recorded at a depth of between approximately 1.8 to 2.0 mbgl (equating to an approximate elevation of approximately 0.6 to 0.4 mAHD), during geotechnical investigations on the site (Tectonic, 2025). No further recent data has been supplied for review in preparing this DMP, however based on ADG’s experience on nearby sites in the locality in recent years, it is anticipated that groundwater should be expected at or around 0.6 m AHD +/- 0.5 m, depending on tidal and seasonal rainfall conditions. Dewatering will therefore be necessary to allow the basement to be constructed in dry conditions. 1.2 Relevant guidelines The DMP was prepared with reference to the following documents: — Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality. 2018. Australian and New Zealand Governments and Australian state and territory governments (ANZG), Canberra ACT, Australia. — Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality. 2000. Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council and Agriculture and Resource Management Council of Australia and New Zealand (ANZECC/ARMCANZ). — Environmental Protection (Water & Wetland Biodiversity) Policy 2019. Department of Environment and Science (DES), Queensland Government. — Noosa River environmental values and water quality objectives. 2022. Department of Environment and Science (DES), Queensland Government. — Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Water. 2018. Australian Government, National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). = Monitoring and Sampling Manual 2018, Version 2 June 2018. 2018. Department of Environment and Science (DES). - Queensland Water Quality Guidelines 2009, Version 3. 2013. The Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP). 1.3 General environmental duty The Environmental Protection Act 1994 describes that all persons in Queensland have a “General Environmental Duty” and that “a person must not carry out an activity that causes, or is likely to cause environmental harm unless the person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise the harm”. ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 1
Page 6
ADG Consulting Pty Ltd The Act requires that appropriate action be taken to report that environmental harm is occurring or has the potential to occur, unless the harm is authorised under an environmental protection policy, an environmental management program, a development approval, or an environmental protection order. This is known as the “Duty to Notify”. Failure to fulfil this duty is an offence and may result in prosecution. 1.4 DMP objectives The objectives of the DMP are to: — Describe the dewatering methodology, groundwater treatment, monitoring and reporting procedures to be employed at the site during dewatering activities. — Provide effective management procedures to prevent environmental harm resulting from the discharge of extracted groundwater from the site. 1.5 Scope of work To achieve the investigation objectives, the following scope of work was undertaken: — Adesktop study including: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Review of the development proposal and proposed shoring/dewatering designs. Review of geology and soil maps for the area. Search of groundwater bores licensed by the Department of Local Government, Water and Volunteers (DLGWV) within a 200 m radius of the site. Review of relevant existing reports and groundwater data from the local area. Review of current aerial photographs of the site and surrounds. — The preparation of this Dewatering Management Plan for submission to Noose Shire Council (NSC).

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 2 Site characteristics 2.1 Property description The site is described as Lot 2 on SP281580 and is situated at 11 Ravenwood Dr, Noosa Heads, Queensland. From recent available aerial mapping (Nearmap), the site was recently cleared between June and October 2024, previously occupied by a multi-storey residential dwelling, and the site is generally rectangular in shape. The site has a total area of 622 m? and is shown in Figure 1, Appendix A. 2.2. Surrounding environment The surrounding environment and land use is described briefly in Table 1. Table 1 Surrounding land use and environment Direction Environment North Easement, then existing residential housing. East Canal watercourse connected to Noosa Inlet/Noosa River. South Existing residential housing, then Mossman Court. West Ravenwood Drive, then existing residential housing, then canal watercourse connected to Noosa Inlet/Noosa River. 2.3 Topography The site and surrounding land is considered to be generally level, consistent with previous residential land use and recent demolition. 2.4 Geology & soils The surface geology at the site is mapped as being Anthropocene-aged gravel, sand and silt; man-made deposits generally associated with land-fill or mining (tailings, dumps and rehabilitated areas). The dominant rock type is identified as a stratified unit of man-made miscellaneous unconsolidated deposits as referenced through detailed surface geology (accessed via Queensland Globe online, 20 February 2025). The Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) map 1:100,000 scale categorises the site as ‘SEA’/’SDL’ or ‘Disturbed Land with probability of ASS’, indicating that the site is likely to contain acid sulfate soils but the type and depth to ASS has not been defined (accessed via Queensland Globe online, 20 February 2025). 2.5 Hydrogeology A search of groundwater bores licensed by DLGWV was conducted by ADG on 20 February 2025. The search identified no licensed bores within a 200 m radius of the site. A map showing the bore search area is provided in Appendix B. Based on the local geology and topography, and the site’s proximity to the canal and the Noosa River, the inferred groundwater flow is to the east. Groundwater beneath the site is likely to be hydraulically connected to the canal, therefore saline groundwater conditions are anticipated, and additional saltwater intrusion is likely to occur during dewatering.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 3. Previous investigations This DMP is based on site and locality specific information sourced from the following information provided to ADG by SCG Consulting Engineers and/or otherwise sourced by ADG: = Geo-environmental Investigation, Proposed Residence, 11 Ravenwood Drive, Noosa Heads. Tectonic. June 2025. Ref. 25040-001-Rev1. — Site Classification Report, Proposed Residence 11 Ravenwood Drive, Noosa Heads. Global Testing, August 2016, Ref: 16/0686. — Foundation Design Report, Lot 1 9 Ravenwood Drive, Noose Heads. STA Consulting Engineers, September 2016, Ref: ES137382-B. — River Oasis, DA Issue C, design plan set. Chris Clout Design. 3 October 2025 (Refer Appendix C). It is noted that dilapidation reports for surrounding structures and services are proposed to be undertaken prior to commencement of construction and dewatering, however are to be provided to Council separately from this DMP. A brief discussion of relevant soil and groundwater conditions is provided below. 3.1 Tectonic Geotech 2025 A Geotechnical and Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) Investigation was undertaken at the site in February 2025 by Tectonic to assess ground conditions for the currently proposed development. 3.1.1 Soils A total of two boreholes (BH1 and BH2) were drilled to 15 and 16.5 m in depth. Shallow fill material encountered comprised loose to medium dense silty sand fill containing gravel and deleterious materials (cobbles, building materials) to depths of 2.3 to 3.0 mbgl, overlying medium dense to very dense sands overlying stiff clays at depth. A firm sandy/silty clay layer was encountered between 4.8 and 5.5 mbgl in both boreholes, with some loose sands above. A total of 32 samples were obtained and laboratory analysed for field screening of ASS, with six of these selected for further analysis using the Chromium Reducible Sulfur (CRS) suite. Results reported by Tectonic indicate that some degree of ASS is present within the existing fill and natural sand materials to 4 mbgl (noting some acid neutralising capacity is present within this part of the soil profile), with an unquantified acid generating potential for deeper soils, noting the ASSMP included by Tectonic indicates further testing for liming rates is required during construction, as no assessment of ASS beyond 4 mbgl was undertaken by Tectonic. 3.1.2 Groundwater 3.2 Groundwater seepage was encountered in both boreholes (BH1 to BH2) at approximately 1.8 — 2.0m below the ground surface at the time of the investigation, with standing groundwater measured in a standpipe in BH1 at 1.8 mbgl. No analysis of ground water was conducted as part of the investigation. However, groundwater levels are anticipated to be directly influenced by tidal variation in the canal (adjacent to site). A groundwater sample obtained by Tectonic was lab analysed and reported to contain high levels of total and dissolved aluminium and iron, and strongly alkaline (pH 10) which may affect water quality during dewatering, and/or worsen as dewatering progresses in acid sulfate soil conditions. Global Testing 2016 A Site Classification Investigation was undertaken at the site in August 2016 by Global Testing (Global) to assess the soil suitability for slab and footing establishment associated with a previously proposed development. ADG notes the relevance of this report is limited due to the age of the report, and fact that the site was developed with a residential premises including basement carparking in 2018, which has since been demolished as of October 2024. ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 4
Page 9
ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 3.2.1 Soils A total of two boreholes (BH1 and BH2) were drilled to 3.5m in depth. Shallow fill material encountered comprised brown, fine to coarse grained medium-dense sands to between 0.0m and 2.0m in depth. Underlying fill materials comprised similar material with increasing moisture (saturated) from 2.1m to the termination depths of 3.5m in both boreholes. Global makes mention that the encountered fill was likely placed a significant number of years prior and that the site may be underlain with deep settling marine clays. 3.2.2 Groundwater 3.3 3.4 Groundwater was intercepted in both boreholes (BH1 to BH2) at approximately 2.1m below the ground surface at the time of the investigation (July 2016). No analysis of ground water was conducted as part of the investigation. No steady groundwater levels were obtained, however given the site location and highly permeable soils, groundwater levels are anticipated to be directly influenced by tidal variation in the canal (adjacent to site). ADG notes the relevance of this report is limited due to the age of the report, and fact that the site was developed with a residential premises including basement carparking in 2018, which has since been demolished as of October 2024. It is also noted that no acid sulfate soil (ASS) investigation was undertaken alongside the soil classification investigation for the site. Therefore, as part of the groundwater monitoring program, untreated groundwater will be sampled as part of the pre-discharge monitoring (and then as required) to detect any potential in-situ oxidation of potential ASS, and potential contingencies such as reinjection of groundwater to minimise oxidation will be recommended if required. STA Consulting Engineers 2016 A Site Investigation was undertaken on the adjacent site at 9 Ravenwood Drive by STA Consulting Engineers (STA) in September 2016. A total of two boreholes (BH1 and BH2) were drilled to between 2.0m and 2.6 m in depth. Subsurface material encountered comprised brown, orange-brown, medium-dense to dense silty sands to between surface level and termination depths in all boreholes. No groundwater seepage was indicated on the bore log sheets provided however the subsurface material was logged as being wet from approximately 1.6m in depth in both boreholes. No additional relevant information can be summarised from this report in relation to the dewatering operations for the project. Groundwater quality No site-specific groundwater quality data was provided to ADG to assist with the preparation of this DMP, however numerous groundwater investigations and dewatering monitoring projects that have been undertaken by ADG throughout the Noosa Coast Region in recent years. Our understanding of the groundwater quality in the region is provided below: — Groundwater is generally mildly acidic to neutral, with pH levels ranging from approximately 5.5 to 6.5 and electrical conductivity ranging from brackish to saline between 2,000 yS/cm to 48,000 uS/cm. Groundwater pH has the potential to reduce (become more acidic) following oxidisation of PASS as dewatering progresses, particularly if re-wetting of the soils occurs. — Dissolved oxygen levels in static groundwater typically range from approximately 35 — 40 % saturation. — The groundwater associated with indurated sand strata is moderately to highly turbid as a result of staining and organic content. — Concentrations of dissolved metals are typically below the available marine water trigger values (MWTV’s) provided in ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) for the receiving waters, however elevated levels of aluminium and particularly iron are expected in the untreated groundwater and have the potential to increase following oxidisation of PASS as dewatering progresses or as a result of existing acidic groundwater conditions.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd — Given the location and previous use of the site, groundwater impacts resulting from site contamination are not anticipated. A groundwater investigation will be undertaken at the commencement of dewatering as described in Section 6.5.2 of this report. This assessment will be representative of the groundwater being extracted and treated from the entire site, as opposed to localised monitoring well data which is often misleading. Based on previous experience with dewatering in the area, ADG expects the groundwater to require treatment to increase pH and dissolved oxygen levels, as well as reduce turbidity, suspended sediments and dissolved metal concentrations prior to being discharged to the Noosa River Canal System.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 4 Water quality objectives 4.1 Receiving environment It is proposed to discharge extracted groundwater directly over the revetment wall into the Noosa River canal system adjacent to the site. The exact location of the receiving waters/environment will be confirmed on commencement of dewatering. The receiving environment in this location identifies as a tidally flushed, moderately disturbed, canal, harbour or marina environment connected to the marine Noosa River. The following section establishes water quality objectives (WQOs) to ensure that the environmental values of the receiving waters are protected and maintained. 4.2 Development of water quality objectives WQOs have been developed to support and protect the designated environmental values (EVs) for the receiving environment. The WQOs are based on a moderately disturbed level of protection for tidal canals, constructed estuaries, marinas and boat harbours. The WQOs have been developed with reference to the following guideline documents: — Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality 2018. (ANZG 2018) The selected trigger values apply to moderately disturbed systems to provide a 95% level of species protection for marine waters. — Environmental Protection (Water & Wetland Biodiversity) Policy 2019. Queensland Government. — Noosa River environmental values and water quality objectives. 2022. DES. - Queensland Water Quality Guidelines, Version 3, September 2009. 2013. DEHP. The Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council and Agriculture and Resource Management Council of Australia and New Zealand (ANZECC/ARMCANZ, 2000), has undergone review, with the publication of the 2018 version. The revised Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality 2018 is a joint initiative between the Australian and New Zealand Governments and Australian state and territory governments (ANZG, 2018) and supersedes the ANZECC/ARMCANZ 2000 publication. Where ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) is referenced, the relevant sections are still relevant and consistent with the updated ANZG 2018 publication, as referenced in the ANZG 2018 publication. The Queensland Water Quality Guidelines 2009 (DEHP, 2013) was made pursuant to the provisions of the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 1999, now the Environmental Protection (Water & Wetland Biodiversity) Policy 2019 (the EPP(Water)), which is a subordinate legislation under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 and was developed as the State response to the ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Guidelines. The EPP(Water) provides a framework for: -— Identifying environmental values for Queensland waters, and deciding the water quality objectives to protect or enhance those environmental values. — Including the identified environmental values and water quality objectives under Schedule 1 of the EPP (Water). WQOs are long term goals for surface water quality management. They are indicators established for receiving waters to support and protect the designated Environmental Values (EVs) for those waters. DES (2022) describes that for slightly to moderately disturbed waters, the guideline values should be compared with the median of values at a test site, whilst ANZG (2018) stresses that the aquatic ecosystem guideline values are triggers to further action, are inherently conservative, and that the response to non- compliance should match the magnitude and impacts (if any) of the exceedance. Regardless of the WQOs adopted in this DMP, the General Environmental Duty set out in the EP Act is paramount, which requires that “a person must not carry out an activity that causes or is likely to cause ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 7

Proposed water quality objectives The proposed water quality objectives that have been developed for the discharge of extracted groundwater from the site are provided in the Tables below. All water discharged from the site must comply with the discharge criteria provided in Table 2. In addition, the receiving water quality within a 20 m radius of the discharge point entry to the receiving water shall comply with the receiving water criteria provided in Table 3. Receiving waters data will be assessed against background monitoring data if non-compliant results are obtained at the receiving waters monitoring location.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd Parameter Criteria Aluminium No ANZG criteria / 200? Iron No ANZG criteria / 3002 Table notes: 1. DES (2022). Noosa River environmental values and water quality objectives (tidal canals, constructed estuaries, marinas and boat harbours). 2. ANZG (2018). Supersedes ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) - Marine water trigger values for 95% species protection. 3. Criteria subject to expected condition in Development Application (DA) notice by Noosa Shire Council. Although ADG has not been provided a copy of the DA notice and conditions for the proposed development, based on previous dewatering projects in the Sunshine/Noosa Coast Region it is expected that total iron and aluminium concentrations as listed in Table 3 (above) are likely to be conditioned by Noosa Shire Council for compliance. It should be noted that these concentrations are considered to be onerous with respect to the risk-based (worst-case) bioavailable trigger value criteria contained in ANZG 2018 & ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) for marine water (moderately disturbed) 95% species protection, and are likely to be difficult to achieve given the groundwater conditions encountered in the locality on previous dewatering projects on the Sunshine/Noosa Coast. Prior to discharge to the stormwater system or any waterway, discharges are to be tested to meet the requirements of the ANZG 2018 & ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality. There is currently no chemical toxicant trigger value criteria available for total or dissolved (i.e. bioavailable) concentrations of iron or total concentrations of aluminium for marine or estuarine waters under the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality Guidelines (ANZG 2018 & ANZECC/ARMCANZ 2000 — i.e. ANZECC Guidelines) or the Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Waters (NHMRC 2008), with regards to managing environmental impacts to the waterway. In addition, Section 5 (Guidelines for recreational water quality and aesthetics) of the ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Guidelines (per section 5.2 thereof) was superseded by the Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Water in 2008 (NHMRC, 2008). Therefore, a reference to the ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Guidelines is by association and extension a reference to the current 2008 NHMRC Guidelines. The 2008 NHMRC Guidelines contain no criteria for aluminium, and only includes an aesthetic criterion for iron — noting this is an aesthetic criterion derived from the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines on the basis of ingesting 2L of the recreational water solution per day. ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Section 5.2.3.3, notes that as a general guideline, under Toxic Chemicals, ‘Higher concentrations of toxicants may be tolerated occasionally if it assumed that no person will ingest more than a maximum of 100 mL water during a normal swimming session (NHMRC 1990) compared with 2L/d for potable water’, and Section 3.1.1.3, under Risk based approach of the guidelines, ‘The guideline trigger values are based on bioavailable concentrations, and hence are relatively conservative when compared with total concentrations in the field, so the use of the decision frameworks will increase guideline concentrations in most cases’. Therefore, any chemical toxicant trigger values would require reassessment and likely increase upwards of any ANZG 2018 &/or ANZECC/ARMCANZ (2000) Guideline trigger values due to the slightly to moderately disturbed nature (and thereby reduced sensitivity) of the receiving waters. In conditioning more onerous criteria, rather than the available marine chemical toxicant trigger value criteria contained within the ANZG/ANZECC Guidelines, an unachievable constraint may be placed on the development. This DMP has allowed for contingency measures to be incorporated into the treatment and discharge system if required, including silt curtains to be installed within the receiving waterway surrounding the discharge location, or further onsite treatment measures such as filtration, to prevent and/or minimise as far as reasonably practicable the potential for release of suspended solid loads into the broader receiving waterway.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 5.2 5.3 Dewatering methodology Basement excavation and shoring It is understood that the excavation/basement perimeter will be stabilised along the perimeter of the basement excavations using a contiguous soldier pile wall. Excavations to facilitate the basement construction will extend to a maximum of approximately 7.4 m below ground level (bgl) to approximately RL-5.0 m Australian Height Datum (AHD; assuming local existing surface levels of around 2.4 m AHD and a basement slab in the order of 0.4 m thickness). Localised deeper excavations will also be required for the construction of the car stacker overrun pit and other structural elements (i.e. footings and pile caps), where required. Groundwater seepage was previously recorded at a depth of approximately 1.8 to 2.0 mbgl (equating to an approximate elevation of approximately 0.6 to 0.4 mAHD), during geotechnical investigations on the site (Tectonic, 2025). No further recent data has been supplied for review in preparing this DMP, however based on ADG’s experience on nearby sites in the locality in recent years, it is anticipated that groundwater should be expected at or around 0.6 m AHD, +/- 0.5 m, depending on tidal and seasonal rainfall conditions. Dewatering will therefore be necessary to allow the basement to be constructed in dry conditions. It is expected that the development will include a ‘tanked’ basement to prevent the requirement for a permanent dewatering facility at the site. Groundwater extraction Dewatering is anticipated to be undertaken using a series of 8.0 m length, 40 mm diameter PVC spears installed to 8.0 m in depth from approx. RL1.5 at 1.5 m intervals around the internal and external perimeter of the basement excavation. The basement excavation must be dewatered to a minimum of approximately 1.0 m below the deepest point of excavation to allow construction to be undertaken in dry conditions. The water table is therefore expected to be lowered by a minimum of approximately 6.6 m to around -6.0 m AHD. It is expected that the cone of depression in the standing groundwater table will be predominantly limited to within the site boundaries due to the low permeability secant pile wall. It is proposed that the development will include a ‘tanked’ basement to prevent the requirement for a permanent dewatering facility at the site. Similarly, no permanent groundwater dewatering is proposed or likely to occur as a result of the development, with all services and pipework proposed to be situated above standing groundwater elevations (that is, at elevations above 0.3 mAHD) and subject to the nominated hold points at Section 5.7. Where any deviation is proposed from this arrangement, all pipework within the saturated zone, that outlets direct to waterways must be fitted with buried headstocks at suitable intervals to prevent ongoing dewatering of groundwater along pipework bedding. Extraction/discharge rates and volume 5.3.1 Dewatering extraction calculation based on subsurface soil profile The dewatering extraction rate, area of influence and cone of depression has been estimated using the Western Australian Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Cone of Depression Calculator. The calculation results are based on the following parameters and known site-specific conditions. The following is applicable to the basement excavations spanning across the lot: — Approximate length of excavation = 23 m — Approximate width of excavation = 17 m — Reduction in depth of groundwater across the basement footprint/excavation = 6.6 m — Approximate depth of saturated aquifer = 10 m (standardised conservative value applied) ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 10

Table 4 Dewatering extraction rate results Output Result Effective radius of dewatering spears (m) 41 Dewatering radius of influence (m) 193 Discharge rate (L/sec) 9 Discharge rate (L/hr) 32,400 Establishment of cone of depression (hours) 1,424 Based on the above inputs, a groundwater flow rate of approximately 9 L/sec or 540 L/min or 32,400 L/hr has been predicted for the development, with the estimated cone of depression radius to be predominantly limited to within 3 m of the secant pile shoring wall. Flow rates are predicted to be highest during initial drawdown of the groundwater table within the basement excavation footprint, and reducing to approximately 5 — 6 L/sec following establishment of the cone of depression within the excavation. Flow rates may fluctuate due to tidal variations, generally approximately + 0.5 m, and will also be influenced by rainfall and surface water collection within the basement excavation footprint noting the underlying predominantly sand profile encountered during geotechnical investigations. Regardless of the contractor employed, groundwater treatment systems should be installed with capability for treating flow rates of up to 10 to 12 L/sec, as a contingency against higher than anticipated flow rates exceeding the estimated 9 L/sec as a result of varying ground conditions across the extent of excavation. However, it should be noted that the WA Calculator provides a conservative assessment of inflows to an excavation footprint based on area and depth but does not take account of the method of perimeter piling i.e. contiguous pile walls, which will inhibit lateral inflows. Also note that the cone of depression radius measure includes water table depressions of 1 mm depth or more, so any significant depression of the water table is limited to much closer to the spear point dewatering spears (generally within 3 to 10 m from the shoring wall in fine-medium grained sands, depending on density of the strata). Dewatering duration Dewatering will be necessary throughout the basement construction phase, which is expected to require dewatering for approximately 16 to 20 weeks. To minimise the potential impacts during construction of short-term dewatering, periods of active dewatering will be minimised as much as possible. However, ADG notes that once active dewatering has commenced, dewatering will not be able to be ceased until both: a) the basement hydrostatic uplift forces have been compensated to the satisfaction of the consulting RPEQ engineer; and b) potential hydraulic loading on the external face of the sheet pile or contiguous pile shoring system has been compensated to the satisfaction of the consulting RPEQ engineer and shoring contractor. Groundwater drawdown Groundwater drawdown caused by dewatering has the potential to create settlement in unconsolidated sediments and loose sands. It is noted that dilapidation reports for surrounding structures and services are proposed to be undertaken which were not supplied to ADG for the purposes of preparing this DMP, and are to be provided to Council separately from this DMP. Groundwater drawdown may also oxidise potential acid sulfate soils within the cone of depression, subsequently producing acidic groundwater conditions and mobilising heavy metals. Monitoring of the extracted untreated groundwater will be undertaken to detect potential in-situ oxidation, as required ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 11
Page 16
ADG Consulting Pty Ltd and at the frequencies stated in Section 6.5.2. Groundwater monitoring bores for groundwater level gauging external to the excavation footprint are expected to be unable to be established and monitored prior to and during construction on the site, due to limited space (SCG Consulting Engineers). Architectural plans of the proposed development and basement arrangement are provided at Appendix C. 5.6 Groundwater treatment All extracted groundwater will be treated on-site using available technologies prior to discharge to the stormwater network. The following treatment measures (or similar depending on final dewatering contractor selection) will be adopted, and will be installed and operational prior to the commencement of dewatering: 1. A groundwater pH buffering treatment system (primary treatment) 2. A sedimentation tank to provide additional residence time and sedimentation (secondary treatment). 3. Installation of fine media filtration to retain suspended sediments and/or heavy metals (tertiary treatment), if required. Details of the treatment systems and methodologies are provided in Section 6 of this report. Note: Consideration should be taken, regarding placement of treatment gear on site to enable easy cleaning and maintenance throughout the dewatering phase for the project. Consider the potential requirement for regular de-sludging of sedimentation tank/s to suitable area onsite, if available (cost minimisation). 5.7. Nominated Hold Points In accordance with anticipated DA Conditions, nominated hold points to be enacted during construction have been proposed to facilitate for certification by the suitably qualified person experienced with Acid Sulfate Soils, as well as Council Development Engineer to ensure all possible avenues for continual dewatering below permanent groundwater level, including around pipework bedding that outlet to waterways, are appropriately sealed. The nominated hold points regarding dewatering for this project are: 1. Prior to commencement of dewatering/initial pump out 2. At finished excavation level, prior to blinding layer application 3. External to basement service installation trench opening/s prior to backfilling. The above nominated hold points are subject to confirmation by the consulting engineer, and liaison with council representatives and the Site Manager.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 6 Water quality management 6.1 Responsibility The Site Manager is ultimately responsible for implementing the water quality management procedures described in this DMP. 6.2 Operational policy To prevent impacts on the receiving waters by effectively treating all extracted groundwater prior to discharge from the site. 6.3 Performance criteria The performance criteria for the discharge of extracted groundwater are the water quality objectives provided in Table 2 and Table 3 in Section 4 of this report. Both the discharge and receiving waters (within a 20 m radius of the stormwater discharge point) will be assessed against the WQOs to ensure that the environmental values of the waterway are maintained. Receiving waters data will also be assessed against background monitoring data if non-compliant results are obtained at the receiving waters monitoring location. 6.4 Implementation strategy All extracted groundwater will be treated on-site using available technologies prior to discharge to the stormwater network. The treatment system described in Section 6.4.1 will be adopted, installed and operational prior to the commencement of dewatering. 6.4.1 Groundwater treatment systems Subject to final appointment of shoring and dewatering contractors (who all generally have different treatment systems), the following treatment systems are generally proposed for dewatered groundwater treatment prior to discharge. Regardless of the contractor employed, groundwater treatment systems should be installed with capability for treating flow rates of up to 10 to 12 L/sec, as a contingency against higher than anticipated flow rates exceeding the estimated 9 L/sec as a result of varying ground conditions across the extent of excavation or construction during wet weather. Primary treatment A groundwater treatment system will be installed to provide primary treatment of the extracted groundwater. The system will provide the following capabilities: A baffled treatment tank with 5 kL minimum capacity Automated in-line chemical dosing systems for the addition of buffering solutions and coagulants A filtration system to reduce fine particulates (if required) Emergency response alarms for non-routine situations. FWnNr Based on the estimated extraction rate, this system will provide approximately nine minutes contact time during the initial chemical dosing, prior to secondary treatment using a sedimentation tank. Primary treatment tank will be vertically stacked on the secondary treatment tank wherever practicable to minimise site area required for groundwater treatment equipment. Secondary treatment A 23 kL sedimentation tank will be utilised to provide the necessary residence time for secondary treatment of the groundwater prior to discharge to the stormwater system. Based on the estimated groundwater extraction rate of approximately 32,400 L/hr (equivalent 540 L/min) from Section 5.3.1 of this Report, one sedimentation tank will provide approximately fourty-two minutes retention time following primary treatment of the extracted groundwater. This is considered to be sufficient secondary settling / retention time based on extensive prior experience on other sites in similar ground conditions. ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 13
Page 18
ADG Consulting Pty Ltd Tertiary treatment — may be required following initial testing of extracted groundwater. A filtration treatment system with specialised fine filtration media and chlorine dosing will be utilised to provide the required heavy metal removal (specifically for total and dissolved iron) where not precipitated and retained within the sedimentation tank/s (secondary treatment). This treatment system will provide tertiary treatment of the groundwater prior to offsite discharge. This type of fine media filtration treatment system is a forced-flow system under pressure, and generally capable of treating flow rates of up to 20 L/sec per filtration unit (therefore residence time is inconsequential to treatment quality achieved). Tertiary treatment will only be required if the required water quality is unable to be achieved following primary and secondary stages of treatment. Subject to the results of field and laboratory testing during the pre-discharge monitoring event. 6.4.2 Dewatering strategy The Site Manager, Dewatering Contractor and ADG Consulting will, where practicable prior, formulate a dewatering strategy to ensure that the dewatering treatment system is sufficient to meet the requirements of the project and that the necessary equipment can be accommodated within the site prior to the commencement of dewatering. Where the construction of the proposed development requires occupation of the road reserve (verge area and/or road formation) for either short term or long term, a road reserve permit must be obtained from Council prior to any occupation of the road reserve. 6.4.3 Initial pump-out Prior to discharge of any extracted groundwater to the canal system, the following pre-dewatering procedure will be undertaken: 1. The basement area will be excavated down to the standing groundwater level. 2. The initial dewatering discharge will be directed (via the treatment systems) into the excavation and allowed to infiltrate/recharge the aquifer. This process will provide initial clarification of the extracted groundwater as disturbed sediment loads are typically reduced following the initial pump-out. 3. Samples of the treated groundwater will be recovered and analysed for the parameters detailed in Table 2 and Table 3. 4. The extracted groundwater will be directed into the canal system following confirmation that the water quality complies with the discharge criteria. 6.5 Monitoring 6.5.1 Visual monitoring Visual inspections of the site and dewatering equipment shall be undertaken daily by the Site Manager to identify the following: — Quantity of chemical product within the dosing system — _ Effective operation of all dewatering treatment equipment — Short circuiting of water around baffles and filter media in sediment tanks, where required to be installed. — Visible hydrocarbon sheens and odours — Green blue or extremely clear water indicating high levels of dissolved aluminium. 6.5.2 Water quality monitoring Water quality monitoring will be undertaken for the duration of dewatering activities at the site by a suitably qualified and independent person. The monitoring will include analysis of the extracted groundwater, treated discharge water and off-site monitoring in the receiving waters (in the mixing zone within a 20 m radius of the discharge point). The exact location within the receiving waterway (Noosa ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 14
Page 19
ADG Consulting Pty Ltd River canal) is to be confirmed, however it is anticipated to be directly east of the site. Background water quality monitoring of field parameters will also be conducted during each sampling event, if applicable. Background samples will be recovered from the river, either upstream or downstream from the receiving water location (tide dependant). The proposed monitoring locations are shown in Figure 1, Appendix A are a subject to confirmation following mobilisation of dewatering gear to site. Monitoring will be undertaken at the following frequencies: — Daily monitoring of field parameters (pH & turbidity) in the treated discharge water. Daily monitoring will be undertaken by a suitably trained site employee under the supervision of the Site Manager. — Weekly monitoring of field parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and turbidity) in the treated discharge water, receiving waters and background waters by ADG Consulting. — Weekly laboratory analysis of treated discharge water and receiving waters for suspended solids and dissolved 0.45um filterable metals (aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, nickel, zinc and mercury). Total aluminium and iron will also be analysed for, if required. — Pre-discharge/initial monitoring of field parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and oxidation-reduction potential) in the extracted groundwater (prior to treatment) to assess changes in groundwater chemistry associated with PASS oxidation. — Pre-discharge/initial laboratory analysis of extracted groundwater (prior to treatment) for suspended solids, dissolved 0.45um filterable metals (aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, nickel, zinc and mercury) and for soluble sulfate and chloride to assess changes in groundwater chemistry associated with PASS oxidation. Total aluminium and iron will also be analysed, if required. — Laboratory analysis of untreated groundwater would also be performed periodically (monthly) if changes in untreated groundwater pH levels are detected that may indicate local acidification, and to determine any changes in local groundwaters that may require further investigation of potential environmental impacts. All samples will be recovered by a suitably qualified Environmental Scientist and submitted to a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratory for analysis. 6.5.3 Monitoring responsibilities The persons responsible for undertaking the compliance monitoring described in Section 6.5.2 above are shown in Table 5.

Maintenance must include: — Regular cleaning and or replacement of media within the filtration unit, where required to be installed. — Regular removal of sediment from the sedimentation tank. The sediment must be either returned to the excavation pit for dewatering and bulking out with excavated material, or removed from the site by a licensed liquid waste contractor. — Regular check of the dosing system and top-up of buffering solutions and flocculants. Reporting Dewatering management procedures and monitoring results will be reviewed by the Environmental Consultant weekly to ensure that the treatment procedures are effective, and that the receiving waters are not being impacted by the extracted groundwater being discharged. The following reporting procedures will be adopted: — Asummary report will be prepared upon completion of the initial/pre-discharge monitoring. The report will be submitted to the Site Manager, Dewatering Contractor, and NSC upon request. — Weekly interim reports will be prepared upon receipt of laboratory data for each round of ongoing compliance monitoring. The interim reports will display all data obtained during the previous monitoring event, and provide comments and recommendations based on the results. — Adewatering compliance report will be prepared on completion of the project (upon request). The above reports will be prepared by the Environmental Consultant and provided to the Site Manager and Dewatering Contractor as they become available. The reports will include all water quality results and comparison to the WQOs, corrective actions and recommendations made to the Site Manager and Dewatering Contractor during the monitoring period. The Site Manager must keep records of complaints, volumes of chemicals used, and treatment methods employed. These records must be available on-site at all times and submitted to NSC by the Site Manager upon request. Contingencies If water quality monitoring indicates ongoing exceedances of the performance criteria, and the water quality objectives for the receiving waters cannot be met, then corrective actions will be adopted as necessary. Possible contingencies may include one or more of the following: ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 16

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd — Installation of additional sedimentation tanks to provide increased residence time and assist with the retention of precipitated iron hydroxides, other heavy metals and/or suspended sediments. — Installation of additional flocculant and/or coagulant dosing systems to assist in precipitation of suspended sediments and/or heavy metals. — Installation of activated carbon filtration or other fine media filtration to retain suspended sediments and/or heavy metals. — Install a floating sediment curtain/s around the stormwater termination point in the receiving waterway to prevent unsightly plumes and contain sediment and/or heavy metals for periodic removal (subject to approval by Noose Shire Council). — Preventive and corrective actions shall be taken in the event that groundwater monitoring observations indicate that unexpected groundwater contamination has been encountered during dewatering. The most appropriate action(s) shall be dependent on the stage of construction and risk of adverse impacts to groundwater users and the receiving environment. — Any modification to the dewatering system and pumping rates shall be in consultation with a suitably qualified scientist/geotechnical/engineer. — Following heavy rainfall all ponded surfaces waters are to meet discharge criteria (Table 3) prior to offsite discharge. Where discharge criteria not met, Site Manager to obtain approval from Dewatering Contractor regarding treating surface waters with treatment gear before offsite discharge. — Pumping systems and shoring works to be maintained in fit for purpose state by Dewatering Contractor and/or shoring contractor. In the event that dewatering equipment has failed and is likely to cause a significant impact on the environment, or surrounding properties (i.e. flooding) the Dewatering Contractor is to be contacted immediately. The Principal Contractor, in consultation with the Dewatering Contractor shall be responsible in rectifying the failure in a practicable time frame to minimise potential impacts. — Equipment, spare parts, materials and tools necessary to manage aspects of the system/s which present a high risk of significant impacts in the event of failure (if any) shall be readily available. — Construction vibrations could potentially cause settlement in the loose upper level sands, thereby damaging nearby structures founded in these strata. Prior to commencement of construction on site (including staged works), it is recommended that a detailed dilapidation survey be undertaken to establish the condition of all existing adjacent structures, roads and services.

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd 7 Noise & odour management 7.1 Responsibility The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring the appropriate management of noise and odour during dewatering operations. 7.2. Operational policy To minimise noise and odour emissions generated from the site during dewatering. 7.3 Performance criteria The appropriate criteria to measure the performance of dewatering management at the site are provided below. 1. No noise or odour related complaints received from neighbouring residents or the community. 2. No degradation of air quality due to fumes or odours emanating from the dewatering process. 7.4 Implementation strategy Noise and odour emissions will be managed as described in the following sections. 7.4.1 Noise All dewatering equipment must be operated appropriately and maintained in good working order. All dewatering systems and plant must be fitted with the appropriate noise reduction equipment to comply with the performance criteria. Non-complying dewatering plant will be replaced or repaired as necessary. It is proposed to employ noise mitigation strategies including use of electric pumps and dewatering systems rather than diesel powered equipment. Noise attenuation blankets and/or screens (and/or other similar noise attenuation measures) must be installed around noise generating dewatering pumps and equipment where practicable, if required. Noise monitoring equipment (unattended) will be installed by the site manager prior to commencement and monitored for the duration of dewatering, if required. 7.4.2 Odour All dewatering plant must be fitted with the appropriate emission reduction devices. Where practicable, all dewatering plant will be sealed to prevent the release of odours to the atmosphere. Fine mist odour control sprays may be applied to reduce offensive odours if complaints are received from neighbouring residents. 7.5 Monitoring An inspection of the site and dewatering equipment shall be undertaken daily by the Site Manager to identify the following: — Excessive noise being generated by the dewatering systems and plant; and — Strong or offensive odours being generated by the dewatering equipment and/or extracted groundwater. If required by Council, noise monitoring equipment (unattended, continuous logging) may need to be installed by the Site Manager prior to commencement and monitored for the duration of dewatering. The Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2019 (EPP(Noise)) identifies specific acoustic quality objectives (noise criteria) to assist in preventing significant impacts on noise sensitive receptors and as a guide to long-term acoustic quality for sensitive receptors. The primary EPP(Noise) criteria relevant to this investigation is outside a dwelling (i.e. adjacent dwellings), which should not have noise at levels in the daytime or evenings greater than 50dB(A) LAeq, adj,1hr. This means that noise levels in the receiving environment outside of nearby dwellings (i.e. on balconies) should not exceed an equivalent sound energy as would be received from a one hour continuous sound of 50 decibels on the A-weighted scale (adjusted for tonal character perceptible by the human ear).

ADG Consulting Pty Ltd While this report has not been generated for the purpose of assessing compliance with the requirements of workplace health and safety legislation, it is noted that a person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure that workers are not exposed to noise that exceeds the exposure standard for noise. The exposure standard for noise is defined in the Work Health & Safety Regulation 2011 (QLD) as LAeq,8h of 85 dB(A) or an LC,peak of 140 dB(C). As such, it is considered appropriate to adopt these exposure standards to assess average and peak noise generated at the site with the potential to affect exposure levels of nearby sensitive receptors (noting there will be some attenuation between source and receptors and actual noise experienced by receptors would need to be measured at the receptor location). 7.6 Reporting The Site Manager must keep records of complaints, monitoring records (including continuous noise monitoring data, where required to be monitored), and corrective and preventive actions/methods employed for noise abatement. These records must be available on-site at all times and submitted to NSC by the Site Manager upon request. 7.7 Contingencies If noise levels consistently exceed the performance criteria, temporary acoustic barriers will be constructed around the offending dewatering systems and plant. Odour control sprays will be applied as necessary to mask odour emissions if complaints are received from neighbouring residents. This may include the direct injection of deodorisers to the groundwater treatment system. ADG1786.25 Dewatering Management Plan_Rev1_07.10.25 Page 19

Executive Summary This report presents the findings of a geotechnical and acid sulfate soils (ASS) investigation for a proposed residential development at 11 Ravenwood Drive, Noosa Heads. The investigation, conducted by Tectonic for Sunshine Beach Noosa Developments Pty Ltd, involved drilling boreholes at two locations, in situ soil strength testing, and laboratory testing for ASS. This report outlines the investigation results and provides recommendations on earthworks, footings, retention systems, groundwater management, and the extent and severity of ASS. The proposed development consists of a two-storey house over a two level basement and includes an arc-shaped pool in the north-eastern corner, near the existing canal revetment wall. Excavations for the basement will range from about 7 m deep generally up to 8 m deep for a car lift pit. Shoring is planned around the perimeter of the basement. Subsurface conditions were found to consist of loose to medium dense, silty sand fill, containing gravel and deleterious materials (e.g. cobbles, building debris etc.) to depths of 2.3 m to 3 m below ground level (BGL). Below this, mostly medium dense to very dense sands were present, overlying stiff clays at depth. A firm sandy/silty clay layer was encountered between 4.8 m and 5.5 m BGL in both boreholes, with some loose sands above. Groundwater seepage was encountered at depths of 1.8 m to 2 m BGL, with a standing groundwater level of 1.8 m BGL recorded at the completion of the investigation. Groundwater levels are expected to fluctuate with weather and tidal variations. After excavation to the design basement level, the subgrade is expected to comprise medium dense to dense sand/indurated sand. A geotechnical RPEQ must inspect the foundation subgrade to determine whether any over-excavation is required to form a stable working platform and foundation for the building. An internal dewatering system, such as sand spears or wells, will be required to manage seepage and prevent ‘boiling’ of the subgrade. It should be possible to manage the groundwater extraction system such that the impact on the surrounding, external groundwater table is negligible. The design of basement walls (temporary and permanent) and floor must account for hydrostatic pressures. Settlement analysis has been carried out using Settle 3D and considered a flexible footing system founded on medium dense sand at around 7 m BGL. Our analysis indicates that elastic and consolidation settlements would range up to the order of 30 mm. It is anticipated that a well stiffened raft slab footing system could be designed to support the proposed building provided that the estimated total and differential settlements can be accommodated. Should the anticipated settlements, or other considerations, preclude the use of a high-level raft footing solution, a piled footing system would be required. Laboratory test results indicate that the soils above 4 m BGL have minimal acid generating capacity given that the recorded Acid Neutralising Capacity exceeded the net acidity, presumably due to previous lime treatment. As such, these soils do not require specific ASS management. However, the soils excavated below 4 m BGL, up to 7 m to 8 m BGL, would likely include ASS for which an ASS management plan would be required and is included herein. Groundwater extracted would be expected to require quality adjustment prior to off-site release to stormwater. Effective treatment of groundwater to achieve suitable release criteria requires reasonable spatial and temporal consideration. An experienced dewatering sub-contractor should be consulted to ensure appropriate outcomes can be achieved. Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 ii

1. Introduction This report details the results of a geotechnical and acid sulfate soils (ASS) investigation undertaken for a proposed residence at 11 Ravenwood Drive, Noosa Heads. The investigation was performed by Tectonic for Sunshine Beach Noosa Developments Pty Ltd, generally in accordance with Proposal P25064-Rev0 dated 7 February 2025. The investigation comprised a site walkover and drilling of boreholes at two locations, in situ soil strength testing and environmental laboratory testing. This report summarises the results of the investigation and provides geotechnical recommendations regarding earthworks, footings, temporary and permanent retention and groundwater management, together with an assessment of the extent and severity of ASS, and an ASS management plan. 2. Proposed Development Architectural drawings supplied to Tectonic (Ref. Chris Clout Design [CCD], Project Name. River Oasis, Sheet Nos. C0.0 to C5.5 [20 sheets], Issue Preliminary Concept, dated 30 May 2025) indicate that the proposed new residence will comprise a two-storey building over a two level basement. Construction will likely comprise rendered masonry, with suspended concrete upper floors and roof. An arc shaped pool will be positioned adjacent to the lower floor level in the north-eastern corner of the site, being setback about 2 m from the existing canal revetment wall. Concrete steps are also proposed off the eastern edge of the house down to the revetment wall. Plans suggest that a pontoon is also proposed as part of the works. The architectural design indicates that excavations for the basement level will generally be about 7 m deep, however will range up to about 8 m deep for a car lift pit. Excavations for the pool are indicated to range up to about 1.5 m deep, with negligible filling proposed across the site. It is understood that engineered shoring is proposed around the full perimeter of the basement. Preliminary information provided by SCG indicates that serviceability loads (contact pressures) beneath the basement floor slab would be in the order of about 55 kPa. Text Figure 1 overleaf provides a layout plan and cross-sectional view of the proposed development. Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 1

3. Site Description
The site is formally described as Lot 2 on SP281580, covering an area of about 622 m2, and having
frontage to Ravenwood Drive along the western boundary. An open water canal is present to the rear
(east), which ultimately connects to the Noosa River. Similar residential properties surrounded the site,
most of which had jetties jutting out into the canal. At the time of the investigation the site was vacant
with a coverage of grass.
To the east, a concrete revetment wall about 1 m high fronts the canal. The western and central parts of
the site were relatively level, with a batter dipping easterly down to the revetment wall at about 10°. At
the time of the assessment, an intertidal beach extended in front of the wall, covering most of the
structure. However, the northern edge of the wall remained exposed, and the beach tapered off towards
a stormwater outlet near the site boundary. Locally, a channel approximately 0.5 meters deep was
observed directly beneath the outlet. Further east, the beach sloped downwards into the canal at an
angle of 6° to 10°, beyond which further observations were not possible.
Although the revetment wall was generally covered by the intertidal beach area, visible parts appeared to
be in straight alignment with no obvious signs of distress which would be attributed to global slope
instability.
It is understood that a previous double storey residence over a single level basement was constructed
sometime after 2018, and was demolished in 2024 due to significant structural distress. Conversations
with the client suggest that this was due to inadequate structural design and dewatering of the lower
level, however, no further details were provided.

4. Method of Investigation 4.1 Fieldwork Two boreholes (designated BH1 and BH2) were drilled across the site using a tracked vehicle mounted rotary drill rig owned and operated by MK Drilling. Boreholes were drilled using a combination of solid flight augering and cased washboring to target depths of 15 m and 16.5 m below ground level (BGL). To enable an assessment of in situ soil strength, standard penetration tests (SPTs) were conducted at regular intervals. SPTs were substituted for undisturbed (U50 tube) samples in firm clays. Shear vane and pocket penetrometer testing were undertaken in undisturbed samples. Soil samples for ASS testing were collected at 0.25 m depth intervals from both boreholes to depths of 4 m BGL. A Class 18 PVC-U standpipe with factory slotted screen for the lower 1.5 m was installed in borehole BH1, to a depth of 4 m BGL, encased in sand to about 1 m BGL, then sealed with bentonite above. Following installation, the standpipe was purged of drilling fluid. At the completion of fieldwork the groundwater level was measured, with samples collected to conduct field and laboratory testing. Results of the groundwater monitoring are discussed in Section 5.3. Borehole BH2 was capped near the surface using an ‘octo-plug’ and backfilled using compact drilling spoil. Excess drilling fluid was spread across nearby site areas. Investigation fieldwork was completed by experienced geotechnical engineers from Tectonic on 18 February 2025. The engineers were responsible for logging subsurface profiles in accordance with AS1726 Geotechnical site investigations, supervising in situ testing, and recovering samples. The positions of the boreholes were recorded using a handheld GPS, with a typical reported accuracy of ±3 m. Reports of the boreholes, along with explanatory notes, are presented in Appendix A. 4.2 Environmental Laboratory Testing A total of 32 soil samples returned from the field investigation were dispatched to Eurofins MGT (Eurofins), a NATA accredited environmental laboratory located in Murrarrie, Brisbane. All samples were screened for ASS potential by measurement of field pH (pHF) and pH after oxidation (pHFOX) using 30 % hydrogen solution. Six samples also underwent quantitative analysis by the Total Actual Acidity (TAA) and Chromium Reducible Sulfur (CRS) suite in accordance with ASS Method 23F (TAA) and 22B (CRS) laboratory procedures. The pH was measured in KCl suspension by the analytical laboratory on samples submitted for testing. ASS laboratory test results are discussed in Section 7. One groundwater sample, recovered from the standpipe in borehole BH1, was tested for a range of parameters relevant to design of the construction dewatering system. Groundwater test results are discussed in Section 5.3. Two soil samples were also tested for aggressivity towards concrete and steel structures. Aggressivity test results are discussed in Section 5.4. Environmental test certificates are attached in Appendix B. Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 6

5. Investigation Findings
5.1 Regional Geology
The 1:100,000 Series Laguna Bay Surface Geological Map (Sheet 9545, Compiled 11 July 2018) indicates
that the site is immediately underlain by historic reclamation fill, inferred to be associated with the
adjacent canal construction (Ref. extract in Text Figure 7). Natural soils below are indicated to be
Quaternary age, active stream channel and low terrace deposits comprising “sand, gravel, silt and clay”,
which are inferred to be underlain at depth by sedimentary strata (mostly sandstone and siltstone)
associated with the late Triassic to Jurassic age Tiaro Coal Measures.

5.2 Subsurface Conditions
A summary of the subsurface conditions encountered in the boreholes is given below, with more detailed
descriptions provided in the borehole reports in Appendix A.
Relatively consistent subsurface materials were encountered in the boreholes, summarised as follows:
Existing Fill – mostly loose to medium dense, silty sand, with varying gravel, cobble and deleterious
material (e.g. metal, organics, cobbles pipe fragments etc.) content to depths between 2.3 m and 3 m
BGL; then
Alluvial/Estuarine Materials – mostly medium dense to very dense sands, including indurated sand
(‘coffee rock’) to depths between 13.2 m and 13.6 m BGL, then mostly stiff clays to the borehole
termination depths. It is noted that a firm sandy/silty clay layer was intersected in both boreholes
between about 4.8 m and 5.5 m BGL, with some loose natural sands above. A deeper firm clay layer
was also encountered in borehole BH1 between about 13.2 m and 14 m BGL.
A summary of the subsurface conditions encountered in the boreholes is given in Table 1 overleaf.

5.3 Groundwater
Groundwater seepage and inflow was encountered during solid flight augering at depths between
1.8 m and 2 m BGL. A standing groundwater level of 1.8 m BGL was measured in the standpipe installed
in borehole BH1 at the completion of fieldwork. Groundwater levels are anticipated to fluctuate with
prevailing weather conditions and are likely to be strongly influenced by the tidal surface water level in
the adjacent Noosa River/Weyba Creek, possibly rising closer to the ground surface. The groundwater
level and results from testing of a sample recovered from the standpipe in borehole BH1 are summarised
in Table 2.

Testing indicates that the groundwater is alkaline and brackish. The unusually alkaline result for the
groundwater may be due to previous lime treatment of the fill materials (Ref. Section 7.4).
Chloride and sulfate levels are consistent with an estuarine groundwater system, however, the titratable
acidity levels were lower than expected which may be due to previous lime treatment as outlined above.
The filtered (dissolved) alluvium and iron concentrations of 7.5 mg/L and 1.1 mg/L, respectively, are well
above the acceptance criteria for release of water into the environment (Ref. Section 7.6). During
dewatering for the basement excavation, appropriate water quality treatment will be required to bring
iron and aluminium levels down to acceptable limits prior to discharge, and also manage pH and
turbidity. The advice of an experienced dewatering (and water quality treatment) sub-contractor should
be sought.
5.4 Aggressivity Laboratory Test Results
Table 3 below summarises the results of aggressivity laboratory testing conducted on two selected soil
samples recovered from the boreholes. The aggressivity laboratory certificates are presented in
Appendix B, with the ASS certificates.

Soil aggressiveness test results have been assessed against Table 6.4.2(C) and Table 6.5.2(C) of AS 2159
2009 Piling Design and Installation. The results generally indicate ‘mild’ classifications for concrete
structures based on the samples tested for soils conditions ‘A’, with a ‘non-aggressive’ classification for
steel structures based on the sample tested from borehole BH2. Due to the low resistivity value, the
sample tested from borehole BH1 indicated a ‘severe’ exposure classification for steel structures.
Due to the proximity to the tidal Noosa River, ‘severe’ and ‘very severe’ classifications would be expected
for concrete and steel elements subjected to the ‘splash zone’ (e.g. revetment structures), respectively.

6. Engineering Assessment
6.1 Revetment Wall Global Stability
Design drawings indicate that the proposed residence and pool will be setback at least 2 m horizontally
from the existing revetment wall fronting the canal. The proposed development is expected to have a
‘non-worsening’ impact on the global stability of the existing revetment wall based on the following:
No surcharge loads (including filling, etc.) are to be exerted on the existing revetment wall unless
assessed and approved by a geotechnical RPEQ, who must also assess global stability of the wall.
Where structures and/or filling are within the zone of influence of the revetment wall (Ref. Section
6.4.5), load transfer below the zone by shallow piles or the like would be necessary.
Excavations for the basement level are expected to range between about 7 m and 8 m deep.
Therefore, all footings and associated building loads will be founded well below the zone of
influence of the revetment wall.
6.2 Earthworks
Architectural drawings indicate that excavations for the basement level will generally range between
about 7 m and 8 m deep. It is understood that engineered shoring is proposed around the fill perimeter
of the basement. Filling must not be undertaken unless assessed and approved by a geotechnical RPEQ,
in order to check any impacts from such on settlement and global stability.
6.2.1 Site Preparation and Trafficability
After excavation to the design basement level, the subgrade is expected to comprise medium dense to
very dense sand/indurated sand. Following bulk excavation, the exposed subgrade must be assessed by
a suitably qualified and experienced geotechnical RPEQ to determine the depth of any over-excavation
required to achieve a stable working platform and foundation for the building. This may be based upon
visual appraisal via a static proof roll, say using a minimum 4 tonne roller, and/or testing such as by the
dynamic cone penetration method.
Select removal of unsuitable materials and replacement with rock fill (R&R) may be required to achieve a
stable building foundation subgrade, and a working platform for general construction works. This would
be particularly important if a raft footing system is adopted (Ref. Section 6.4). The temporary retention
system should be designed to tolerate deeper excavations to account for possible R&R.
Replacement materials must comprise good quality granular fill (e.g. ‘150 minus’ rock fill) compacted as
outlined in Section 6.2.4.
Depending on prevailing weather and tidal conditions at the time of construction, groundwater may be
present at shallow depth and could lead to subgrade heaving and strength loss under trafficking by
construction equipment. Lighter, tracked plant should therefore be used for earthworks where possible,
and heavy vehicles (particularly wheeled plant) should avoid trafficking directly on the subgrade.
Care must be taken with the use of vibratory equipment to ensure that there are no adverse impacts on
surrounding structures, and that vibration does not cause groundwater to ‘pump’ into and weaken the
subgrade. The impacts from ground vibration must be closely monitored and managed during
construction. It would be prudent to conduct a dilapidation survey of nearby structures before
commencement of construction.
Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence
4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 10
Page 70
Although relatively good trafficability should be encountered during ‘dry’ weather conditions and with
effective groundwater dewatering on the expected natural sand subgrades, the soils could be subject to
strength loss from repetitive vehicle loading (particularly from rubber tyred plant), mainly if they are
saturated. Thus, the measures outlined below may be required:
Grade the base of the excavation (minimum 1V:100H) to achieve positive drainage to a dewatering
point(s) (e.g. sump-pump), with collected waters then pumped to a suitable discharge outlet (after
treatment to a suitable quality).
Place non-woven geosynthetic filter fabric (e.g. Bidim A34 or equivalent) across the subgrade to
prevent ‘pumping’ of ‘fines’ (silt materials) into the rock fill working platform. The grade of
geosynthetic to be used will be dependent upon the particle size of the selected granular material
used (see below).
Construct a minimum 150 mm thick granular working platform to the design subgrade level. We
suggest the use of ‘150 minus’ rock fill with a thin capping layer of CBR 15% material to provide a
smooth working surface.
Specific design will need to be carried out to determine working platform requirements for any heavy
plant (e.g. mobile cranes or piling rigs).
Construction areas external to the basement should be graded to enable flow of stormwater to a control
point(s) for pumping out and/or treatment, if necessary, prior to off-site release.
6.2.2 Excavations
Excavations for the basement to depths in the order of about 7 m to 8 m BGL are expected to encounter
mostly loose to medium dense sands, with some firm clays. Excavations to the design level should be
achievable using conventional earthmoving plant (e.g. excavators with toothed buckets).
Groundwater seepage and inflow was encountered during the investigation at depths between 1.8 m and
2 m BGL, with the standing groundwater table recorded in the standpipe installed in borehole BH1 at a
depth of 1.8 m BGL. Based on the close proximity of the site to the Noosa River, groundwater levels will
likely fluctuate with tidal levels on a damped cycle and may rise closer to the surface following periods of
prolonged or heavy rainfall. Due to the presence of groundwater at shallow depth in natural sands and
considering that the basement excavations will extend up to most site boundaries, battering is generally
not expected to be possible. Temporary shoring of the excavation will be required and is discussed in
Section 6.3.2.
6.2.3 Material Re-Use
Soils excavated for the basement where free of any deleterious materials (e.g. organics, building debris
etc.) are expected to comprise mostly silty sands. The sandy soils should generally be suitable for re-use
on or off site as structural fill if spread out in thin layers and allowed to dry out to optimum moisture
content for compaction (noting the limits on filling described above). Internal dewatering prior to bulk
excavation would be prudent to enable easier handling of excavated materials for off-site transport and
re-use, particularly if groundwater is shallow at the time of construction.
It should be noted that compaction of such relatively poorly graded natural sands as structural fill
generally requires the use of vibratory compaction equipment (typically a smooth drum roller).

Page 71
6.2.4 Filling Based on the supplied architectural drawings, and the proposed construction methodologies, no filling works are anticipated as part of the development, although controlled filling may be required for over- excavation of unsuitable materials exposed in the foundation subgrade if a raft footing system is adopted. It is recommended that any imported fill for the project comprise good quality, low reactivity materials (e.g. non-descript crushed rock, ‘clean’ sands, or similar), that comply with the following: Minimum CBR of 10 % Maximum plasticity index of 15 % Shrink-swell index ≤ 1 % Maximum particle size of 100 mm Fill material should be placed in 200 mm thick (loose thickness) layers and be compacted by repeated rolling using a minimum 4 tonne roller (vibration on if safe to do so) to achieve a dry density ratio of at least 98 % of the maximum Dry Density Ratio (DDR), based upon the Standard Compaction method, or a Dry Density Index of at least 75 %. Confirmatory compaction testing must be carried out at regular intervals. A minimum of two tests per vertical lift is recommended where structural fill heights are to exceed 300 mm. Further details for control and testing of fill are given in Australian Standard AS 3798-2007 Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments. Level 1 geotechnical inspection and testing of all structural fill is recommended, with density testing at a Type 3 frequency. Due to the close proximity of structures on surrounding blocks and underground services, care will need to be taken with any activities which may cause excessive ground vibrations (e.g. fill compaction and excavations). It would be prudent to conduct a dilapidation survey of nearby structures before commencement of construction, and to monitor ground vibrations during construction works. When in proximity to settlement sensitive structures or services, only static compaction rolling should be conducted, particularly if excessive ground vibrations are encountered, and/or to prevent pumping of pore water leading to subgrade heaving/strength loss over the subgrade generally. 6.3 Temporary and Permanent Retention Excavations for the basement and floor slab are expected to range between about 7 m and 8 m BGL. Given that the planned basement footprint extends close to site boundaries, excavations will cover most of the site. Some form of temporary shoring will be required to support the excavation. 6.3.1 Temporary Batters Temporary batters in loose to medium dense sands above the groundwater table may be formed at 1V:1.5H provided that they are not subjected to surcharge loads (e.g. from surrounding buildings) and are protected from saturation by rainfall. Flatter temporary batters would be required where affected by groundwater seepage or rainfall. Excavations below the groundwater table will require temporary shoring and dewatering to actively lower groundwater below the base of the excavation, and to control groundwater inflow. Where the above temporary batters cannot be achieved (e.g. due to spatial restraints etc.), retention will be required (refer to Section 6.3.2). Any excavations required adjacent to existing structures or infrastructure will need to be specifically designed to ensure that the structures are not undermined. Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 12
Page 72
6.3.2 Temporary and Permanent Retention Systems
Given that the planned basement footprint extends close to the site boundaries, excavations will cover
most of the site. Allowing for the footprint extents some form of temporary shoring will be required to
support the excavations. Suitable shoring methods for the ground conditions encountered could include
secant (over-lapping) piles and mud diaphragm walls.
Temporary shoring should penetrate into the underlying dense (or denser) indurated sands/coffee rock,
to minimise flows up through the base of the excavation. Deeper ‘key in depths’ may be required,
depending on detailed design of the temporary shoring system. Care would need to be taken with
shoring to manage potential vibration impacts on nearby structures. It would be prudent to conduct a
dilapidation survey of such adjacent structures prior to commencement of the site works.
Considering the potential for adverse impacts on nearby structures due to settlement, and potential
environmental impacts due to significant dewatering of the groundwater table; the proposed temporary
retention system should be designed to support at least partial hydrostatic pressure. Given our
observations of groundwater levels and ASS conditions, we recommend that the external groundwater
level should not be dewatered deeper than 1.5 m BGL.
An internal dewatering system (e.g. a series of sand spears or wells connected to an extraction pump) will
likely be required to pick up any seepage that migrates through the shoring system, and up through the
sands across the basement excavation floor. This would be to prevent ‘boiling’ of the basement
subgrade. It should be possible to manage the groundwater extraction system such that the impact on
the surrounding, external groundwater table is negligible. To minimise the volumes of extracted
groundwater and the associated treatment requirements, it would be prudent to adjust the depths of
wells/spears and pumping rates such that the stabilised groundwater level below the excavation floor is
optimised (i.e. dewatering is not carried out to an excessive depth).
To minimise inflow rates and reduce the risk of external dewatering care must be taken to ensure the
temporary shoring wall is ‘water-tight’. Special attention would need given to the detailing such as
ensuring that the shoring elements overlap.
Subject to the recommendations outlined above, and the advice of a suitably experienced
shoring/dewatering contractor (including hydrogeological assessment of the proposed dewatering),
negligible impacts are anticipated on surrounding buildings and infrastructure due to the following:
Temporary retention will be utilised around the entire excavation perimeter.
External dewatering will not be undertaken below 1.5 m BGL, with the internal dewatering system
optimised such that dewatering is not undertaken to an excessive depth.
The upper soil layers primarily consist of sands, and groundwater levels are expected to fluctuate in
response to weather conditions and tidal cycles. As such, the internal dewatering system is not
anticipated to cause significant changes in the surrounding groundwater levels or induce soil
shrinkage or swelling.
Due to the relatively shallow depth that groundwater was encountered during the investigation, the
proposed basement will need to be designed as a ‘tanked’ structure. The design of the proposed
basement walls and floor will therefore need to include allowance for hydrostatic pressures. This would
need to include allowance for the highest astronomical tide and potential flood/storm surge levels,
together with predicted rises due to climate change. It may be possible to incorporate a permanent
pressure relief system for the basement; however, due to ongoing requirements for treatment of
extracted groundwater, such a system is not likely to be feasible.
Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence

Design for temporary and permanent retaining structures could be carried out using the pressure
distribution applicable to the wall type and based on the parameters listed in Table 4. These values do
not include allowance for hydrostatic pressures nor transient (e.g. construction) or adjacent footing
loadings.

The advice of a suitably experienced, specialist contractor must be sought regarding feasibility, design
and installation of the preferred retention and dewatering system for this site. It will be necessary to
conduct numerical analysis to optimise the retention system. Temporary and permanent retention
design must be designed and certified by a suitably qualified and experienced RPEQ engineer.
6.4 Building Foundations
6.4.1 Settlement Analysis
For the proposed two storey building with double level basement, SCG has indicated that contact
pressures beneath a possible raft slab would be in the order of about 55 kPa. To assess the geotechnical
feasibility of supporting the building on a stiffened raft footing system at basement floor level,
settlement analysis has been carried out using Settle 3D. The analysis considered a flexible footing
founded on medium dense sand at about 7 m BGL and assumed that, if required, over-excavation and
replacement of any loose/firm materials would be undertaken near the basement level, as outlined in
Section 6.2.1. Our analysis indicates that elastic and consolidation settlements would be in the order of
the values provided in Table 5 overleaf.
Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence
4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 14
Page 74
Table 5: Estimated Settlements Under Raft Slab
Description 2 Storey Building + Double Basement
Approximate Elastic Settlement < 10 mm
Approximate Consolidation Settlement Up to 15 mm
(in addition to above)
Approximate Secondary Settlement Up to 15 mm
Approximate Total Settlement Up to 30 mm
The elastic (immediate) settlements should mostly occur during the construction and initial loading
phase; however, ongoing consolidation and secondary settlement will occur over the design life of the
building, which should be considered in the design. Further analysis should be carried out once
structural design details and building loads are finalised to confirm the above estimates remain valid.
Settlement parameters were based on published and empirical correlations with in-situ test results from
the boreholes. An output from the Settle 3D modelling is presented in Text Figure 8.
It should be noted that concentrated wall/column loads or peak perimeter pressures exceeding 55 kPa
(soil contact pressure) could substantially increase settlement and thus, piled footings may be required in
these areas.

Page 75
6.4.2 Footing Options For the anticipated approximate gross distributed building foundation pressure of up to 55 kPa under the building, the adoption of strip and pad footings is not recommended as the settlement of foundation soils would be excessive. Therefore, footing options that may be considered for the proposed building include a well stiffened raft slab or piles. Discussion on raft slab and piled footing systems is given in Sections 6.4.3 and 6.4.4 respectively. 6.4.3 Raft Footing Design It is anticipated that a well stiffened raft slab footing system could be adopted to support the proposed building provided that total and differential settlements, as estimated and given in Table 5, can be accommodated. The raft would need to be designed to evenly distribute building loads throughout the slab, including concentrated column loads. SCG has indicated that gross pressures beneath the basement floor slab would be in the order of about 55 kPa. Analysis indicates that settlements should generally within the feasible limits for a well stiffened raft slab footing system. Further analysis should be carried out once structural design details are finalised to confirm the above estimates remain valid. This should also include finite element analysis to resolve soil/structure interaction with input from the structural designer to accurately calculate stresses/displacements and subgrade/slab reactions. Resistance to uplift from hydrostatic pressures should also be considered by the design RPEQ. Piles or tie down anchors to resist uplift may be required. Should the anticipated settlements preclude the use of a well stiffened raft slab, piled footings would be required (Ref. Section 6.4.4). As outlined above, concentrated wall/column loads or peak perimeter pressures exceeding 55 kPa would also need to be transferred using piled footings. Excavations for the basement are expected to expose mostly medium dense to very dense sands/indurated sands. The raft subgrade must be inspected by a geotechnical RPEQ to confirm the foundation materials and allowable bearing pressure, and to advise on treatment of any unsuitable zones (if encountered). 6.4.4 Piled Footing Design Where anticipated settlement cannot be tolerated in a stiffened raft solution or in areas with concentrated/elevated peak pressures, a piled footing system would be required. Considering the likely order of column loads to be supported, piles would could be socketed into the dense to very dense sands at about 7 m BGL. Piles may be designed using an allowable end bearing pressure of 1 MPa in dense or very dense sands. It is envisaged that steel screw piles could be adopted for the development. The use of bored piles, without the use of steel liners and dewatering equipment, would be precluded by the presence of shallow groundwater and loose sands near surface. Driven piles would likely not be suitable given the suburban environment (e.g. noise disturbance) and potential vibratory effects on adjacent structures (residences and underground services). Grout injected CFA piles could also be considered. If steel screw piles are adopted, it will be important to ensure close supervision of installation, as piling may not encounter sufficient drilling resistance (from torque measurement) in dense sands at the suggested founding depth, and piles could extend to much greater depth than necessary. It is therefore recommended that site specific dynamic load pile testing should be conducted. Where tension or compression capacity developed in the footings is critical for the future structure (e.g. resistance to uplift forces etc.), then cyclic load tests (including measurement of deflections under Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 16
Page 76
tension and compression cycles) should also be undertaken prior to construction. Kentledge for static
testing, or simulated cyclic loads, should prove the piles to a minimum of two times the expected
working load within tolerable deflections.
The advice of a specialist piling contractor must be sought regarding an assessment of suitable pile
types, pile design, and associated constructability considerations. The most cost-effective piling solution
depends on a combination of pile type, diameter and length. Piling companies are best equipped to
make this assessment based on the costs of the various options. Piling companies should make their
own assessment of anticipated founding levels and required pile lengths. Footings for proposed
jetties/pontoons must be assessed by a specialist piling contractor. It is envisaged that a barge mounted
piling rig would be required for working within the canal beyond the revetment wall.
Settlements of piles founded as above under working or serviceability loadings would not be expected to
exceed 1% of pile diameter (e.g. less than 10 mm for pile diameters less than 1 m) provided any
CFA/bored pile bases and sockets are cleaned of disturbed material and cuttings.
6.4.5 General
All footings should found such that they are not adversely affected by (or affect) any adjacent
excavations, trenches, or retaining walls that are not designed to support building loads. Footings should
found at least below a plane extending 1 m horizontally from the base of trenches/excavations/retaining
walls, then rising up at 1V:1H, as illustrated in Text Figure 9.
Where footings are located within a horizontal distance of 1.5H (H being the batter height) of any cut or
fill batter crest, these footings must be founded at a depth level with the toe of the batter.
Text Figure 9: Zone of influence diagrams – footings to be founded below these lines
If any soil conditions encountered during construction are found to differ from those noted in the
geotechnical investigation, Tectonic should be notified immediately and an inspection carried out to
determine if changes to footing design are required.
Please note that steel/concrete structures would need to be designed for durability as outlined in
Australian Standard AS2159-2009 Piling – Design and Installation. Refer to the discussion on soil
aggressivity given in Section 5.4.
6.4.6 Site Classification
Site classification for footing design is determined in accordance with AS 2870-2011 Residential Slabs and
Footings and depends on the depth of cut / fill undertaken at a site, variations in the natural soil depths,
and the reactivity of the in situ materials and any imported fill materials.
Although the site classification would be strictly Class P as per AS2870 due to the presence of existing fill
and loose sands, the potential relative movements between the building and surrounding ground (i.e. at
Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence

Page 77
plumbing connection points) would not be expected to exceed 40 mm if the building is supported on a raft. Thus, an equivalent Class M is recommended for plumbing design purposes in this case. 6.4.7 Earthquake Design Considerations In accordance with Australian Standard AS 1170.4-2007 Structural design actions, Part 4: Earthquake actions in Australia, Section 4.2, this site would be classified as “Class Ce” (shallow soil site). 6.5 Permanent Drainage Design of the proposed basement walls and floor would need to include allowance for hydrostatic pressures. The standing groundwater level was recorded at 1.8 m BGL in the standpipe installed in borehole BH1 at the completion of fieldwork, however, groundwater could rise closer to the ground surface following periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall, high tides and flooding. Depending on matters such as the extent of drainage installed and hydrological analysis, the designer must make an assessment of hydrostatic pressure to be accounted for in the design of the basement. The use of a passive pressure relief system could be considered to enable a reduction in the allowance for hydrostatic uplift in basement construction. This could comprise a drainage network connected to a series of standpipes or one-way valves that allow groundwater seepage to flow into a sump-pump collection system, once groundwater rises above a predetermined level (and for which the basement has been designed to resist the relevant hydrostatic forces). A drawback of such a system would be the need for water quality treatment prior to off-site discharge, and the on-going maintenance required and may not be accepted by Council. As such a fully tanked basement structure will likely be required. Design of basement tanking, and any pressure relief system, must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and experienced structural RPEQ. Permanent site drainage should be installed to ensure that stormwater runoff is directed away from building walls and footings (e.g. perimeter paths/drains and swales where space allows), discharging into the existing stormwater infrastructure in the surrounding streets or canal to the east. A surface dissipation device such as rock weir must be installed at the stormwater outlet(s), where not discharging into a constructed pit.

7. Acid Sulfate soil assessment
7.1 Information on Acid Sulfate Soil
ASS is common in low-lying coastal areas of Queensland, typically in Holocene to Pleistocene age alluvial
and estuarine sediments located below RL 5 m AHD. Such areas are often characterised by the presence
of estuaries, swamps, floodplains, salt marshes and mangroves. The affected soils contain iron sulfides,
most frequently pyrite, which when exposed to air, oxidises to form sulfuric acid.
There are two basic types of ASS. These are actual acid sulfate soil (AASS), which is soil in which pyrite
has already oxidised and sulfuric acid is present in the soil, and potential acid sulfate soil (PASS), where
pyrite is present but has not been oxidised.
When these soils are maintained in their natural setting (generally anaerobic conditions below the
groundwater table or sea level), the iron sulfides (PASS) are unable to oxidise, therefore the ASS remains
in a stable state. However, where disturbances such as civil construction or development expose ASS to
aerobic conditions, the iron sulfides are able to oxidise and form sulfuric acid, resulting in the soil
becoming acidic. Existing acidity attributed to the oxidation of ASS (AASS) may also be present because
of previous exposure of ASS material either by human interference or by natural processes. This acidity
has the potential to mobilise metals which are naturally present in the soil, thereby producing a leachate
contaminated by both high levels of acidity and metals. The chemical reactions can also strip the
leachate of dissolved oxygen. Such leachate, if released into the environment, can have significant
adverse effects including degradation of the water quality in receiving areas, fish disease/kills, reduced
crop productivity, corrosion of built structures and health related issues.
In view of these potential effects, it is critical that any development that occurs within an area likely to
contain ASS is planned, managed and monitored appropriately so as to minimise or remove the risk of
adverse environmental outcomes. Development involving ASS must comply with the requirements of
state and local regulations pertaining to ASS, this includes Noosa Council’s Planning Policy and its
attendant guidelines.
This shall be achieved through the following overall development outcomes:
Development ensures that the release of acid and associated metal contaminants into the
environment is avoided by either:
Not disturbing ASS when excavating or otherwise removing soil or sediment, extracting groundwater
or filling land; or
Treating and, if required, undertaking ongoing management of any disturbed ASS and associated
drainage waters.
Other forms of acidity may be present in soil that is not sulfuric in nature, thus not produced or
associated with the occurrence of ASS. These can be commonly termed ‘acidic non-ASS.’ While these
soils are not regulated to the same extent as ASS, it is prudent to operate within the requirements of
Queensland environmental law and manage the acidity in line with best practice management criteria, as
set out within the Queensland ASS Technical Manual if these types of soil are going to be disturbed.

7.2 Desktop Study
7.2.1 Geology and Groundwater
The mapped regional geological setting is detailed in Section 5.1 of this report and comprises recent
reclamation fill, and Quaternary age interlayered alluvial/estuarine deposits. The site-specific geology is
detailed in Section 5.2 where it can be seen that mostly silty sands (natural and fill), with minor sandy
clays, are expected to the proposed excavation depths.
Groundwater encountered during the investigation was at about 1.8 m BGL (with the potential to
become shallower following rainfall and high tide events). External dewatering will not be carried out
below 1.5 m BGL. An internal dewatering system (e.g. a series of sand spears or wells connected to an
extraction pump) will likely be required to pick up any seepage that migrates up through the sands
across the basement excavation floor. It should be possible to manage the groundwater extraction
system such that the impact on the surrounding, external groundwater table is negligible.
7.3 Regional ASS Mapping
An extract from the Queensland Government’s Redcliffe to Teewah Acid Sulfate Soils Map 2 (NR&M-
SEA-I-A0 3261) covering the region is shown in Text Figure 10. The mapping classifies the site as ‘SDL’
(purple shading), which is described as “disturbed land…likely to contain ASS”, and that only a “limited
field investigation” has been undertaken as part of the mapping program.
It should be noted that ASS risk mapping does not definitively indicate the presence nor absence of ASS
at a particular site, but rather provides an indication of terrain where ASS is likely to occur. The presence
or absence of ASS at a site may only be confirmed by completion of a site investigation, involving an
appropriate degree of site assessment and quantitative analysis.

7.4 ASS Investigation Results
A total of 32 samples were recovered and assessed by pH field screen analyses. Existing soil pH (pHF)
ranged from 6.5 to 11, indicating mostly alkaline to slightly acidic conditions are present at the site. It is
noted that the alkaline conditions may be a result of previous ASS treatment of the fill materials
(i.e. addition of lime during the canal construction works), which was also evidenced by Acid Neutralising
Capacity (ANC) being present in all of the quantitative laboratory test results.
Quantitative laboratory analyses were completed on six samples using the Chromium Reducible Sulfur
(CRS) suite of testing to quantify the severity and nature of any acidity or potential acidity present in the
soil profile. Actual acidity was assessed using Titratable Actual Acidity (TAA), and potassium-chloride
extractable sulfur (SKCl) was used to assess the nature of the measured actual acidity. Potential acidity
was measured by the CRS method which specifically measures inorganic oxidisable sulfur. These
methods are set out in the QASSIT guidelines and associated ASS management documents. Based on
the nature of the proposed disturbance, an action criterion of 0.03%S (18 mol H+ per tonne) was
adopted for comparison with the combined actual and potential acidity results.
It is noted that the potential acidity exceeded the action criteria in two of the six samples tested, both of
which were in existing fill materials recovered from borehole BH1. However, all of the samples tested
returned ANC values exceeding the combined net acidity, which is inferred to be due to previous ASS
treatment.
The combined actual and potential acidity therefore did not exceed the action criteria in any samples.
ASS laboratory test results are summarised in Table B1 in Appendix B along with laboratory certificates.
7.5 Risk Characterisation
Laboratory test results indicate that the site soils above 4 m BGL have minimal acid generating capacity
given that the existing ANC levels exceeded the net acidity levels. As such, these soils do not require
specific management strategies under Queensland’s ASS legislation and guidelines. However, the soils
excavated below 4 m BGL, up to 7 m to 8 m BGL, would likely include ASS for which an ASS management
plan would be required and is included herein.
8. Acid Sulfate Soil Management
The primary objective of this management plan is to provide a framework to allow the proposed works
to proceed without adverse environmental impacts related to the disturbance of ASS. To successfully
achieve this objective, the following issues shall be addressed:
Confirmation of lime treatment rates for soils excavated from 4 m up to 8 m BGL by laboratory
characterisation testing.
Mitigation of risk associated with ASS present in disturbed soil (via neutralisation of disturbed soil
and successful verification testing);
Containment, testing and treatment (where necessary) of any water collected during the excavation
and/or during the treatment processes; and
Limitation of any alteration to the existing groundwater conditions and appropriate treatment of any
collected groundwater before re-use, offsite discharge or disposal.

8.1 Training and Orientation Appropriate training should be provided to all Contractor staff involved in earthworks on the site, to be delivered as part of site induction. Sessions should be conducted prior to the commencement of earthworks and at other such regular intervals as required to ensure staff are fully aware of the requirement for field management of ASS and associated waters, the management strategies to be implemented, and their roles and responsibilities in achieving the desired management outcomes. 8.2 Management of Disturbed Material The soils where excavated or otherwise disturbed as part of development works must be treated to neutralise the net acidity present. Excavated soil shall be mixed with a neutralising agent (fine agricultural lime) as follows: Fill and natural sand encountered to 4 m BGL – no treatment required. Materials excavated 4 m BGL and 8 m BGL – rate to be determined by characterisation testing. Due to the spatial limitations, excavated soil from 4 m to 8 m BGL would need to be transferred to a designated storage stockpile offsite while laboratory characterisation testing is completed. Characterisation testing shall be undertaken at a rate of 1 test per 200 m3 of soil excavated from 4 m to 8 m BGL. Each characterisation sample will be taken by compositing excavated material from no less than six subsample locations (including at depth) from the stockpile. The laboratory test regime for characterisation testing will involve the CRS suite. All materials (including volumes of soil and storage locations) must be recorded and tracked by the Contractor. Material must be stored in a fashion that will allow treatment, if necessary, together with suitable drainage management at the storage site to ensure that any surface water runoff and leachate is able to be captured and effectively treated to ensure that no waters are released without meeting the required site release criteria described in Table 7. Following excavation of the basement, a lime guard layer will be applied to the subgrade soil at rate of 5 kg lime per m2, prior to construction of the blinding slab, or basement floor. A guard layer must also be applied at a rate of 5 kg lime per m2 across the offsite stockpile subgrade. Recommended liming rates assume the use of fine-grained agricultural lime with a purity of not less than 90%, a soil bulk density of 1.7 tonnes per cubic metre, and a factor of safety of 1.5 to allow for incomplete mixing and the reactivity of the lime. 8.2.1 Verification Testing To verify treatment of excavated ASS material from 4 m to 8 m BGL, verification testing will be carried out at a rate of 1 test per 500 m3 of treated soil. Each verification sample will be taken by compositing treated material from no less than six subsample locations (including at depth) from treated soil within the treatment area. The laboratory test regime for validation testing will involve the measurement of pH, net acidity (the sum of actual, potential and residual acidity) and acid neutralising capacity (ANC). Where the pH post treatment is greater than 6.5 and the ANC is not less than 1.5 times the net acidity, then the validation shall be deemed successful. If analysis of any verification sample/s indicates unsuccessful treatment, re-treatment of the represented soil will be required prior to completion of another series of verification testing. This procedure should be repeated until successful treatment has been verified. Geo-environmental Investigation Proposed Residence 4 June 2025 | 25040-001-Rev1 22

8.2.2 Record Keeping
To help demonstrate that appropriate quantities of lime have been used as specified to neutralise the
ASS, quantities of lime delivered to the site, verified by delivery dockets, will be maintained by the
Contractor. The lime usage shall quantify volumes of soil treated.
8.3 Management of Groundwater & In Situ ASS
Excavation below the groundwater table, such as that proposed for this site, has the potential to result in
localised lowering of the water table caused by dewatering. This process is referred to as groundwater
drawdown and can create a time variable cone of depression around the excavation, the scale of which is
dependent on the type and method of dewatering used, and the nature of the aquifer containing the
groundwater. The cone of depression is the volume of soil around the disturbance which was previously
saturated (below the water table), but due to the dewatering becomes unsaturated (at least for a short
time period during construction).
This lowering of the water table may lead to two potential problems:
Settlement of the land adjacent to the excavation which may lead to subsidence; and
Exposure of in situ PASS within the cone of depression, thereby causing oxidation of these soils and
subsequent generation of acidity, having potential adverse effects on groundwater conditions.
The proposed construction is expected to utilise a engineered shoring retention system around the full
basement perimeter to provide temporary batter support for construction, and to minimise groundwater
inflows. So that the retention system can achieve an effective groundwater ‘cut-off’, it is recommended
that the retention system penetrates into the underlying dense (or denser) sands/coffee rock at around 7
m BGL. Furthermore, the retention system shall be designed to allow for the development of some
hydrostatic pressure to minimise external (e.g. spear point) dewatering.
Design and construction of a retention system as described above should result in negligible drawdown
of the groundwater table outside the excavation and mitigate the risk of ground settlement and/or
oxidation of possible in situ ASS in areas adjacent to the works.
It is anticipated that groundwater flows would be encountered through the base of the excavation during
construction, however such inflows should be handled using shallow well or spear points. These
groundwater inflows shall be treated and discharged together with any surface water runoff
accumulating during the construction period.
To further mitigate potential for risk associated with short-term dewatering, the following management
strategies should be undertaken to mitigate any potential issues:
Depth of dewatering shall be limited to within 1 m from the base of proposed excavation.
Quality of any groundwater inflows into excavations shall be monitored to ensure in situ acidification
is not occurring. Monitoring will involve pH testing of inflows daily during dewatering periods. It
should be noted that groundwater in the area may be naturally acidic (pH 5.0 to 6.0). If the
monitored pH levels fall more than 1.0 unit over the course of construction monitoring, or is
consistently below pH 4.0, then an ASS specialist should be engaged to determine whether there has
been any significant environmental impact, why the pH has dropped and how the works may
progress without undue environmental risk.

Once basement excavation has achieved the final design level a reinforced concrete structural slab and
perimeter walls will be constructed to seal the basement and achieve a ‘tanked structure’, whereby no
permanent dewatering will be required (during operation).
8.4 Water Quality Management
Erosion and sediment control measures are expected to be applied in accordance with current industry
best practice to contain and control site runoff waters during construction.
Extracted groundwater and captured stormwater shall be monitored and maintained within a pH range
of 6.5 to 8.5. No uncontrolled release of waters will be allowed to occur during construction. The
performance criteria detailed in Table 6 must be met prior to release. The Contractor shall be
responsible for ensuring relevant water quality criteria are met prior to discharge.
Table 6: Water Quality Release Criteria
Indicator Release Limit
pH 6.5 to 8.5
Total Suspended Solids < 50 mg/L
Dissolved Aluminium < 0.3 mg/L
Dissolved Iron < 0.2 mg/L
No visible litter, sheen or odour washed from the
Litter/Gross Pollutants site or deposited in waters downstream of any
discharge
Groundwater extracted during construction would be expected to require quality adjustment prior to off-
site release to stormwater. At a minimum, this is expected to involve buffering (increasing) of the pH to
within the range 6.5 to 8.5 by the addition of a suitable agent, followed by the addition of a flocculant,
and sufficient settling/contact times to reduce turbidity and metal loads. Effective treatment of
groundwater to achieve suitable release criteria requires reasonable spatial and temporal consideration.
An experienced dewatering contractor should be consulted to ensure appropriate outcomes can be
achieved.
