1 INTRODUCTION
Civil Geotechnical Consultants was engaged by Matt Bradley Designs to undertake a slope
assessment of the proposed development at 24 Lyrebird Court, Peregian Beach. The site is
located within the Noosa Shire Council area hazard overlay map, which requires geotechnical
assessment and reporting to occur. An initial site visit and slope assessment report has been
conducted to inform the potential works (if any) associated with the proposed additions to the
existing dwelling.
1.1 Details of Development
The proposed development at 24 Lyrebird Court, Peregian Beach involves the addition of a new
deck and spa extended off an existing dwelling and pool. Provided designs/layout suggest the
deck and spa will add an additional 10.5m2 to the building footprint. Refer to Figure 1 below and
Appendix 1 for plan details.
Figure 1: Proposed development location at 24 Lyrebird Ct, Peregian Springs
1.2 Site Location and Description
The site is located on cul-de-sac of Lyrebird Court approximately 1.5km from Peregian Beach
township. Provided plans indicate that minimal earthworks will be required to provide a
foundation for the spa and the deck is to be supported on poles. Foundation designs have not
been provided at the time of writing this report.

2 METHODOLOGY
2.1 General
This report presents a portion of the above requirements. The methodology adopted in the initial
stage 1 slope assessment is noted below:
1. Desktop study
a) Review of available relevant planning documentation including layout, topographic
plans and flood data.
b) A review of existing Hazard mapping (where available), aerial photographs and
various published information to assist in identifying past activity.
c) Collation of regional soil and geological data.
2. Site investigation (non-intrusive)
3. Landslide Risk Assessment (qualitative risk to property)
The methodology for conducting the Landslide Risk assessment is in general compliance with
Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS), Volume 42, No.1 March 2007. Key details are
discussed below. The AGS framework for Landslide Risk management is presented in Figure 3.0
below.
2.2 Landslide Risk Assessment
This qualitative risk assessment has been carried out to assess the geological hazards on the
site and attempt to define the likelihood of that hazard becoming an event, and as a consequence
the resultant risk to property. A qualitative assessment ranks risk on a scale as opposed to a
quantitative risk assessment that defines the risk as a numerical probability.
A risk is made up of the product of the likelihood of an event, and the consequences of that event
occurring. We have used a methodology guided by the paper ‘A National Landslide Risk
Management Framework for Australia’; Volume 42 March 2007 published by the Australian
Geomechanics Society in 2007 (AGS 2007). The risk matrix from AGS 2007 is attached in
Appendix B.
This document was created in an attempt to standardise the terms and methodologies used for
risk assessment for landslide events in Australia, and also to formalise the procedures in
conducting risk assessments. The guidelines use common terms and methods of assessment,
combined with a risk matrix to define risk. The terms used in this document that reference
definitions in AGS 2007 are written in bold.
For example, the likelihood of a small rock falling may be assessed as ‘likely’ (e.g., the
assessment that a rock will likely fall in the next significant rain event) whilst the consequences of
that particular rock impacting a building may be ‘insignificant’ (e.g. the rock is so small that the
building damage might be insignificant). The resultant risk relating to that particular hazard could
then be assessed using the AGS 2007 risk matrix from Appendix B to be ‘low’.
The risk assessments are based on CGC’s assumptions and judgements. The risks assessed
using these methods are generally ranges, and in some cases span two or more categories of
risk. The range of values indicates the uncertainty in the data used to estimate the likelihood and
consequences of events. Further investigation work may be required to reduce this uncertainty.

Specialists in transport geotechnics Figure 3.0 - Framework for Landslide Risk Management 2.2.1 Implications of Risk Assessment The implications of the risk levels are discussed in AGS 2007 and a table from that document describing commonly accepted levels of risk is included in Appendix B. Generally, where risk is assessed as greater than Low risk, some form of detailed investigation and treatment options are implemented. Where risk is Low or Very Low the risk is often accepted. Moderate risk commonly requires investigation and treatment to reduce the risk to Low or less. 9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 4

Implications
Unacceptable without treatment. Extensive detailed investigation and research, planning and

VH Very High practical. Work will likely cost more than the value of the property
H High Unacceptable without treatment. Detailed investigation, planning and implementation of treatment options
required to reduce risk to Low. Work would cost a substantial sum in relation to the value of the property.
M Moderate May be tolerated in certain circumstances (subject to regulator’s approval) but requires investigation,
planning and implementation of treatment options to reduce risk to Low.
L Low Usually acceptable to regulators. Where treatment has been required to reduce the risk to this level,
ongoing maintenance is required.
VL Very Low Acceptable. Manage by normal slope maintenance procedures.
Notes:
1. “Existing Slopes” in this context are slopes that are not part of a recognizable landslide and have demonstrated non-failure
performance over at least several seasons or events of extended adverse weather, usually being a period of at least 10 to 20 years.
2. “Existing Development” includes existing structures, and slopes that have been modified by cut and fill, that are not located on or
part of a recognizable landslide and have demonstrated non-failure performance over at least several seasons or events of extended
adverse weather, usually being a period of at least 10 to 20 years.
3. “New Constructed Slope” includes any change to existing slopes by cut or fill or changes to existing slopes by new stabilisation
works (including replacement of existing retaining walls or replacement of existing stabilisation measures, such as rock bolts or catch
fences).
4. “New Development” includes any new structure or change to an existing slope or structure. Where changes to an existing structure
or slope result in any cut or fill of less than 1.0m vertical height from the toe to the crest and this change does not increase the risk,
then the Existing Slope / Existing Structure criterion may be adopted. Where changes to an existing structure do not increase the
building footprint or do not result in an overall change in footing loads, then the Existing Development criterion may be adopted.
5. “Existing Landslides” have been considered likely to require remedial works and hence would become a New Constructed Slope
and require the lower risk. Even where remedial works are not required per se, it would be reasonable expectation of the public for a
known landslide to be assessed to the lower risk category as a matter of “public safety”.
2.2.2 Surface Characteristics of Landslides and Hazard Identification
The ability to recognise the presence of a landslide is dependent on a number of factors: fresh
landslides are generally easily recognisable providing they have distinct scarps and runouts, but
some landslides are more subtle in morphology – such as creep and lateral spread. Recognition
of these may be dependent on the experience of the geotechnical professional and the ability to
recognise the morphological context.
In general terms, weathering processes will tend to form fairly uniform hill slopes; the presence of
landslides will disrupt this uniformity and form (mainly) concave features, which may have
hummocky ground or talus slopes at the foot of the hill where the failed material has
accumulated.
The slope may also show benches, scars or scarps where the ground has been displaced,
changes in vegetation may be present in historical landslide areas, and this may take the form of
smaller trees in the form of regrowth, or a patch of different species through change in
subsurface conditions and opportunistic recolonization.
9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 6
Page 10
Specialists in transport geotechnics Slow, creeping landslides and historic events may be recognisable by consistently bent trees; as the ground moves and tilts the trees will continue to grow near vertically, which can lead to a kink in the trunks – this will be exhibited by a number of trees and single specimens are not likely representative of slope movements. Creep and lateral spread in low-angle slopes may be seen by linear irregularities in the slope. Historic landslides may also be picked up in high-resolution topographic maps: downslope lobes and hummocks can often be seen, and when combined with irregularities in the slope and gullies, can identify areas which warrant further investigation. Anthropogenic features may also be disturbed by landslides; powerlines may be tilted, retaining walls can bulge, roads and railway lines may show cracking and offset. Sometimes, areas which are in danger of developing landslides can be picked up by the formation of tension cracks and the presence of springs and altered drainage, however, for the most part these areas need to be assessed by considering a combination of slope angles, material types and assessing the risk from historical records and context. 9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 7

3 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
Information on existing site conditions during this initial assessment have been gathered from the
following information sources:
• Desktop study
• Non-intrusive site investigation comprising of a site walkover and assessment.
Refer below for summary details.
3.1 Desktop Study
A desktop study has been conducted to examine and report available geotechnical information
associated with the proposed development and surrounds. Refer below for details.
3.1.1 Detailed Surface Geology
With reference to Queensland Governments “GeoResGlobe” 1:100,000 scaled detailed surface
geological mapping, Figure 4 below identifies the surrounding geology of the proposed site (24
Lyrebird Court). The overlay indicates the property is overlain by Holocene period blowout dunes
and quartz sand (Qhd/2).

3.1.2 Noosa Shire Council Landslide Hazard Overlay Map
Noosa Shire Council (NSC) Landslide hazard risk overlay has been referred to for this
assessment. This overlay is generally referred to during new developments, where land is
located on the NSC overlays it is a requirement that a geotechnical assessment be undertaken to
demonstrate that the landslide risk is low to very low prior to development. The NSC Landslide
hazard risk overlay (see figure 5) identifies the majority of the property as a moderate risk of
landslide hazard area with the exclusion of the house footprint.

3.1.3 Aerial Imagery
Historical aerial imageries were accessed through Nearmap and GeoResGlobe to identify the
changes that the proposed development site has undergone through the period. No visible
significant instabilities around/within the proposed site were identified in the aerial images review.
Refer to Appendix 2 for the reviewed aerial images.
3.1.4 Site History
No documentation has been located or made available for review in relation to the site history of
landslides.

Specialists in transport geotechnics 3.2 Site Inspection/Investigation A site walkover was conducted by a CGC geotechnical engineer on the 27th July 2022 to understand the condition of the proposed development site. No intrusive geotechnical field investigation or testing was undertaken during the site visit. The site slopes from South to North with the house located on the elevated southern section of the property directly off Lyrebird Court. From the house platform the site is terraced with a number of retaining walls, with rendered block walls around the house area and timber sleeper walls down the slope. The terraces are generally near level and well grassed with some shrubs and larger trees located throughout. The lowest terrace had minimal ground cover and was generally shaded by the larger trees surrounding it. This area was covered with palm fronds and branches on the sand and the fencing on the northern boundary was leaning showing signs of surficial movement in the area. The current site conditions are reflected in following series of site photos below in figure 6.

3.2.1 Groundwater
No groundwater seepage was observed on site at the time of the inspection.
3.2.2 Surface Drainage
Little to no surface drainage was identified on the site. There are multiple timber retaining walls
down the slope of which behind wall drainage was not observed. Natural overland flow appears
the be the only mechanism currently directing water down slope to the lower property boundary.
3.2.3 Vegetation
The property has been terraced with a number of retaining walls progressing level grassed areas
down to the property boundary. There are some trees and shrubs placed throughout the property
with the majority of the larger trees located along the property boundaries. The southern portion
of the property is covered with the dwelling footprint, pool and additional paving.

Page 15
Specialists in transport geotechnics
3.2.4 Buildings, other structures
The property has been development and landscaped with a double story dwelling with an
attached pool and deck. The southern portion of the property is linked with paving around all
sides of the house which leads to the terraced northern portion of the property. North of the
house there are a number of retaining walls varying in height that have resulted in multiple flat
grassed areas. These retaining walls are generally constructed from rendered block work where
linked to the house and timber sleeper walls at the lower terraces.
3.2.5 Site Classification
A site classification report has been previously completed by others and is outside the scope of
this report.
4 SLOPE RISK ASSESSMENT
4.1 Introduction
Utilising the Australian Geomechanics Society Guidelines for Landslide Risk Management (2007)
risk assessment methodology, and provided that the development construction and post
construction maintenance of the site is undertaken in accordance with the restrictions and
precautions outlined in Section 5, the site assessed risk level is considered to be Low.
Table 5 summarises qualitative assessment of slope instability risk prior to any remedial works or
engineering controls. Table 6 shows the assessed qualitative risk following appropriate
engineering controls and practices in design and construction, risk management, including
earthworks in accordance with the guidelines in this report.

4.2 Effects of Development on Land Stability
4.2.1 Existing Conditions
Existing conditions are discussed in section 3 above.
4.2.2 Effects
Based on observations made in the field, the effect on land stability due to the proposed
development is considered to be low should good construction practice be followed during
construction.
Site drainage around the development in the form of swale drains to minimise effects of erosion
should be included.
5 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT
5.1 Site layout
Please refer to Appendix 1 for the layout and contour plans.
5.2 Proposed development components
The proposed development at 24 Lyrebird Court, Peregian Beach involves the addition of a spa
and deck to an existing dwelling and pool area.
5.3 Earthworks
Based on the development plans provided it there is minimal earthworks required for the
construction of the spa and deck extension which is to be founded above ground on piers.
Should earthworks be required it is recommended that the fill operations be undertaken with the
appropriate engineering supervision to ensure compaction is achieved. Any fill batter on the down
slope side of the house will require appropriate batter angles/retention systems to ensure the
stability of the fill platform and foundations.
9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 13
Page 17
Specialists in transport geotechnics
5.4 Foundations
No structural details have been provided at this stage of assessment besides to architectural
plans. It is noted that surface loose sands have been identified as having poor bearing capacity
and as such it is assumed the foundations would extend to the underlying medium dense (or
denser) sand. Excess and/or differential settlement may result if foundations are constructed on
very loose/loose sands. As a minimum, good hillside design practices as defined in AGS (Refer
to Appendix 3) are recommended for this site.
5.5 Surface drainage
Surface details for the proposed development, levels are currently only available on approximate
architectural drawings. It is recommended that swale drains be constructed to direct flow around
the foundation area to slow and dissipate flow down the slope keeping concentrated flow away
from the house and associate structures.
5.6 Overall effect of development on stability
It is considered that the proposed development has the potential to have a Low impact on the site
given its current condition. Implementation of engineering controls outlined in Section 6 should be
incorporated to reduce the long term and short-term risk. Inspection, monitoring and maintenance
should be undertaken at a minimum to ensure the site stability into the future.
6 CONSTRAINTS/ PRECAUTIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 General
Good hillside engineering construction practice is considered mandatory during development of
the site. The notes and illustrations attached in Appendix 3 of this report outline some typical
hillside construction guidelines including, earthworks, erosion control and drainage practices for
hillside areas, which should be applied to this site.
6.2 Foundations
It is recommended that the foundations for the shed and spa be designed and constructed in
accordance with AS2870 Residential Slabs and Footings. As a minimum, foundations should
extend to found at depth in the underlying medium dense sands to meet bearing capacity
requirements.
6.3 Drainage
The control of drainage is important to the stability of the proposed development. The following
recommendations are made with respect to drainage for the site:
• Well designed and engineered surface water controls should be used to reduce the
infiltration potential of the site during and following rainfall. Surface water from the site and
from areas upslope of the site must be diverted away from footing systems, cut and fill
batters and retaining walls. The use of appropriate self-flushing spoon drains is
recommended.
9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 14
Page 18
Specialists in transport geotechnics
• Subsurface drainage must be installed behind retaining walls in order to prevent the
development of hydrostatic pressure. This normally comprises slotted ‘aggi’ pipe wrapped
in filter ‘sock’ and placed in gravel backfill.
• Discharge from rainwater tanks, roof water and runoff collection systems must be
controlled and discharged as diffuse flow at least 10 metres down slope of any footing,
batter or retaining structure.
• Any water disposal must be controlled and discharged as diffuse flow at least 10 metres
down slope of any footing, batter or retaining wall.
• All excess stormwater collected from proposed pavements (driveways/road) and around
the proposed shed (including overflow from rainwater tanks) must be directed by pipes or
lined channels to the legal point of downstream discharge.
6.4 Earthworks
The following recommendations are made for earthworks on the site:
• Vegetation acts to reinforce and protect the soil profile on a sloping site. Therefore,
vegetation clearance should be kept to the minimum necessary to undertake the works
and should be limited to the immediate vicinity of the building envelope and works area.
• Earthworks on the site should be minimised as far as possible.
• Any fill should be placed under a Level 1 Inspection and Testing regime in accordance
with the requirements of AS3798-2007 “Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and
Residential Developments” and certified by a geotechnical inspection and testing
authority.
• Where fill is placed over side slopes, the subgrade slopes should be cut to form a series
of horizontal terraces to ensure that the fill is bonded to the subgrade.
• Cut and fill batters must not exceed a slope of 2H:1V.
• All cut and fill earthworks of greater than 1.0 m height or depth must be designed by a
professional engineer and checked for stability.
• All retaining structures greater than 1.0 m high must be designed by a professional
engineer in accordance with AS4678-2002 “Earth Retaining Structures”. The design
should be adequately designed for earth pressures, surcharges and elevated ground
water conditions and fully account for sloped backfill and retained ground. The adopted
design should also include conservatively sized drainage and regularly scheduled
maintenance measures. Retaining walls should be founded into hard residual soils or
weathered rock. The actual required depth of founding will need to be designed to
provide an adequate factor of safety against global instability for the height of retained
material.
• Earthworks should only be undertaken during periods when ground conditions are
relatively dry and there is no threat of prolonged rainfall. A risk assessment should be
undertaken prior to undertaking any earthworks operations on the site.

6.5 Inspection, Monitoring and Maintenance
Inspection, monitoring and maintenance is a key activity required for maintaining expected short-
and long-term performance of any existing structure and proposed works element. Generic
mitigations are noted below.
The owner of the property should be responsible for:
• Maintaining adequate surface drainage path in and out of the property and piping the
drainage outlet away from the immediate slope to avoid potential scouring on the slope
surface.
• Fixing/repairing the leaking or broken underground drainage/sewer pipes as soon as the
fault has been identified.
• Undertaking periodic visual inspection of the property and surrounds for any cracking,
ground movement etc (say every 6 months too annually or after large storm periods).
• Where the risk levels are determined to be higher then an inspection by qualified and
suitably experienced personnel is required.
• Maintaining vegetation cover or other means of surface protection (as applicable) inside
the property boundary to minimise surface infiltration into underlying foundation materials.
• Where practical, encouraging/facilitating vegetation growth on the crest and slope below
the house.
• Seeking appropriate geotechnical and design advice if any construction activities
including renovation/addition or replacement are planned within the extent of the property.
• Following Council’s relevant regulatory requirements for new construction inside the
property.
6.6 Engineering Design and Practice
Good engineering design of foundations and earthworks not only reduces maintenance costs of
the structure throughout its design life, it also minimises uncertainties associated with foundation-
structure interaction and hence the risks. Some notes on good and poor engineering practice for
hillside construction are presented in Appendix 3 (reproduced from AGS 2007c, Appendix 3). It
is recommended that the guidelines on good engineering practice provided in Appendix 3 be
used for this site.
7 Summary and Conclusions
Civil Geotechnical Consultants has undertaken a slope risk assessment at 24 Lyrebird Court,
Peregian Beach and it is considered that based on the site walkover and with reference to the
recommendations contained within this report the development will have a low risk of instability
due to landslip actions.
It has been found that the development would, subject to the recommendations herein being
followed, satisfy the Performance Outcome PO1 as defined in the Noosa Plan 2020, Table
8.2.8.3 of the Noosa Shire Council Planning Scheme.
A site-specific geotechnical assessment has been completed for the site and has demonstrated
that the landslide hazard risk is considered to be Low. The development is not situated in an area
9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 16
Page 20
Specialists in transport geotechnics of high risk of land instability and the proposed development should not adversely impact on this risk if the recommendations made herein are adhered to. It is advisable that a final inspection and evaluation of the site works be undertaken by a competent RPEQ following completion of the development. This is to ensure general compliance to the above recommendations and sound building practices on steep and sloping sites. 9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page 17

Limitations to this advice
Foundation and geotechnical engineering problems are a principal cause of construction delays, cost overruns,
claims and disputes. The following information is provided to help you to understand this report and its
limitations and manage your risks.
Scope and Applicability of this Report
This report has been prepared for a specific purpose and scope and its applicability is limited. CGC cannot
accept any responsibility for the use of this report outside of the stated scope and purpose. If a service has not
been explicitly included in the scope, it must be assumed that it has not been provided. Assessment of soil or
groundwater contamination does not form part of this geotechnical report and any reference to any potential
site contamination is for information only. If you are uncertain about the applicability of the results for any
particular purpose, you should consult CGC to avoid any misunderstanding or miss-application.
This report has been prepared for the nominated Client and project only and should not be relied upon by
other parties, or for other purposes, without consulting CGC. Any party relying on this report beyond its
specific purpose and scope does so entirely at their own risk and responsibility. CGC does not take
responsibility for the use of this document by any other person or party than the Client.
Project Details and Information Provided
This report has been based on project details as provided to us at the time of the commission. We have
assumed that the information supplied to CGC by the client or other external sources on behalf of the client, is
correct unless explicitly stated so. CGC does not accept any responsibility for incomplete or inaccurate data
provided by others.
If any project details change during the course of the project or observed conditions are considered to differ
from those expected or assumed, CGC should be notified in order to investigate if and how changes in project
details affect the conclusions and recommendations in our report. If CGC is not consulted when changes are
made to the initial project details, we cannot accept any responsibility for problems arising from these
changes.
Geotechnical Information and Interpretation
Site investigations only sample discrete parts of the ground, and that extrapolation and interpolation of
collected information can be used with varying degrees of risk and uncertainty depending on the extent and
quality of the site investigation, the variability of the subsurface conditions and the consequences to the
proposed works.
The analyses and recommendations in this report rely on the results of site investigation information, and
other reported geotechnical information that is relevant to the works. This may include the results of pile load
testing, other geotechnical testing, and inspections and observations from studies that have been performed
as part of the works or in the vicinity of the works previously.
We have endeavoured to incorporate the available information into an appropriate geotechnical model based
on our interpretation of the likely subsurface conditions. This process, and the geotechnical analysis and
interpretation based on that model, is an inexact science, as a model is but a simplification of reality to derive
a geotechnical solution. While we endeavour to incorporate realistic model parameters, our models,
interpretations and the outcomes or our work generally may differ from reality for a range of reasons
including:
• Spatial Variability: Geotechnical and geological variability across the site which may not have been
captured in the site investigation works that have been used in our works. Geotechnical site
investigations are very limited in the extent of physical investigation compared to the size of the
entire site. No site investigation, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal all subsurface details and
anomalies and conditions that differ from those observed in the site investigation will occur;
• Temporal Variability: Subsurface conditions can change with time due to man-made events such as
cutting or filling or any construction works on or adjacent to the site which can also affect the site
drainage and hence underlying properties; or by natural events such as floods or groundwater
fluctuations.
9 August 2022 CGC-SR-2022-012-R01-Rev01 Page I
Page 22
Specialists in transport geotechnics
• Variability in Mechanical Properties: Normal geotechnical variability in the inferred properties of
materials represented in the boreholes, the performance of foundations or other elements that are
tested or observed, and the performance of structures that are in contact with the ground in general.
The data collected is only directly relevant to the exact location where the investigation was
undertaken. The subsurface conditions between test locations have been inferred based on
judgement and experience with the facts available at that time and related to the relative position of
the proposed works;
• Testing Limitations: Uncertainty associated with geotechnical testing, design correlations associated
with those tests or material descriptions, and case histories from which geotechnical parameters may
have been inferred or in design and/or analysis methods that have been adopted;
• Construction Effects: Variability in the performance of construction equipment, such as hammers,
cushions, guides and associated equipment for piling, construction effects that may influence the way
structures interact with the ground, as well as inaccuracies in data measurement and testing methods
that may have been used to record construction processes.
• The results provided should be considered as indicative of the best estimate of likely outcomes (or
range thereof), and should not be considered to be definitive or absolute, or represent the full range
of possible outcomes at this site. Caution and prudence should be exercised when making decisions
with significant implications for your project. The limitations of this report as outlined herein should
be incorporated in decision making, and appropriate contingencies should be put in place to
accommodate unexpected variability in relation to the works.
Geotechnical Modelling
Model parameters that are used may vary in nature depending on the purpose of the analysis. Where it is
necessary to make a realistic evaluation of the soil model, we would normally describe this as a best estimate.
Depending on the particular application, it may be important to understand the sensitivity of the solution to
soil model changes. We may then also define an upper bound soil model and a lower bound soil model, being
estimates of the likely strongest and weakest soil conditions which are anticipated based on the available
geotechnical information and inferred geotechnical parameters. In certain circumstances, such as cases where
the ground conditions appear to be extremely uncertain or variable, we may also define extreme upper bound
and extreme lower bound parameters which are intended to represent the likely extremes of the site
conditions. In all cased, these models are inferred using engineering judgement from the available information
and actual conditions and associated outcomes may differ from those assumed or given in our report, due to
the inherent unpredictability of the ground, as outlined in the preceding section.
It should be noted that depending on the particular application either upper bound or lower bound analyses
could be deemed conservative.
Disclaimer
The results, opinions, conclusions and any recommendations in this report are based on assumptions made by
CGC in order to carry out the work. CGC specifically disclaims responsibility: arising from, or in connection
with, any change to the site conditions or the nature of the proposed works including change in position of the
structure or proposed works relative to the available data; to update this report if the site conditions or project
details change or if the report is used after a protracted delay; and for liability arising from any of the
assumptions that have been made or information provided being incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate.
Subject to the terms of an Agreement for Professional Services between CGC and the client, and to the
maximum extent permitted by law, all implied warranties and conditions in relation to the services provided by
CGC and this report are excluded.
Closure
Unless otherwise documented by way of a signed agreement for the services provided, all services in preparing
this report have been provided under CGC’s standard terms and conditions which are referenced in our fee
proposal. The report is specific to the brief provided with its associated time and cost constraints.
Should you require any further information or clarification in relation to this report, please contact Civil

AUSTRALIAN GEOGUIDE LR6 (RETAINING WALLS)
RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are used to support cuts and fills. Some are built in the open and backfill is placed behind them (gravity
walls). Others are inserted into the ground (cast in situ or driven piles) and the ground is subsequently excavated on one
side. Retaining walls, like all man-made structures, have a finite life. Properly engineered walls should last 50 years, or
more, without needing significant repairs. However, not all walls fit this category. Some, particularly those built by
inexperienced tradesmen without engineering input, can deflect and even fail because they are unable to withstand the
pressures that develop in the ground around them or because the materials from which they are built deteriorate with
time. Design of retaining walls more than 900mm high should be undertaken by a geotechnical practitioner or
structural engineer and normally require local council approval.
Retaining walls have to withstand the weight of the ground on the high side, any water pressure forces that develop, any
additional load (surcharge) on the ground surface and sometimes swelling pressures from expansive clays. These
forces are resisted by the wall itself and the ground on the low side. Engineers calculate the forces that the retained
ground, the water, and the surcharge impose on a wall (the disturbing force) as well as the maximum force that the wall
and ground on the low side can provide to resist them (the restoring force). The ratio of the restoring force to the
disturbing force is called the "factor of safety" (GeoGuide LR1). Permanent retaining walls designed in accordance with
accepted engineering standards will normally have a factor of safety in the range 1.5 to 2.
Never add surcharge to the high side of a wall (e.g. place fill, erect a structure, stockpile bulk materials, or park vehicles)
unless you know the wall has been designed with that purpose in mind.
Never more than lightly water plants on the high side of a retaining wall.
Never excavate at the toe of a retaining wall.
Any of these actions will reduce the factor of safety of the wall and could
lead to failure. If in doubt about any aspect of an existing retaining wall, or
changes you would like to make near one, seek advice from a
geotechnical practitioner, or a structural engineer. This GeoGuide sets out
basic inspection requirements for retaining walls and identifies some
common signs that might indicate all is not well. GeoGuide LR11
provides information about records that should be kept.
GRAVITY WALLS
Gravity walls are so called because they rely on their own weight (the
force of gravity) to hold the ground behind in place.
Formed concrete and reinforced blockwork walls (Figure 1) - should Figure 1- Typical formed concrete wall
be built so the backfill can drain. They should be inspected at least once
a year. Look for signs of tilting, bulging, cracking, or a drop in ground
level on the high side, as any of these may indicate that the wall has
started to fail. Look for rust staining, which may indicate that the steel
reinforcement is deteriorating and the wall is losing structural strength
("concrete cancer"). Ensure that weep holes are clear and that water is
able to drain at all times, as high water pressures behind the wall can lead
to sudden and catastrophic failure.
Concrete “crib” walls (Figure 2) - should be filled with clean gravel, or
"blue metal" with a nominated grading. Sometimes soil is used to reduce
cost, but this is undesirable, from an engineering perspective, unless
internal drainage is incorporated in the wall's construction. Without
backfill drainage, a soil filled crib wall is likely to have a lower factor of
safety than is required. Crib walls should be inspected as for formed Figure 2 -Typical crib
concrete walls. In addition, you should check that material is not being lost
through the structure of the wall, which has large gaps through it.
Timber “crib” walls - should be checked as for concrete crib walls. In
addition, check the condition of the timber. Once individual elements
show signs of rotting, it is necessary to have the wall replaced. If you are
uncertain seek advice from a geotechnical practitioner, or a structural
engineer.
Masonry walls: natural stone, brick, or interlocking blocks (Figure 3) -
more than about 1m high, should be wider at the bottom than at the top
and include specific measures to permit drainage of the backfill. They
should be checked as for formed concrete walls. Natural stone walls
should be inspected for signs of deterioration of the individual blocks:
strength loss, corners becoming rounded, cracks appearing, or debris Figure 3 -Typical masonry wall
from the blocks collecting at the foot of the wall.
170 Australian Geomechanics Vol 42 No 1 March 2007
Page 40
AUSTRALIAN GEOGUIDE LR6 (RETAINING WALLS)
Old Masonry walls (Figure 4) - Many old masonry retaining walls have
not been built in accordance with modern design standards and often
have a low "factor of safety" (GeoGuide LR1). They may therefore be
close to failure and a minor change in their condition, or loading, could
initiate collapse. You need to take particular care with such structures
and seek professional advice sooner rather than later. Although masonry
walls sometimes deflect significantly over long periods of time collapse,
when it occurs, is usually sudden and can be catastrophic. Familiarity
with a particular situation can instil a false sense of confidence.
Reinforced soil walls (Figure 5) - are made of compacted select fill in
which layers of reinforcement are buried to form a "reinforced soil zone".
The reinforcement is all important, because it holds the soil "wall"
together. Reinforcement may be steel strip, or mesh, or a variety of
geosynthetic ("plastic") products. The facing panels are there to protect
Figure 4 - Poorly built masonry wall
the soil "wall" from erosion and give it a finished appearance.
Most reinforced soil walls are proprietary products. Construction should
be carried out strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Inspection and maintenance should be the same as for formed concrete
and concrete block walls. If unusual materials such as timber, or used
tyres, are used as a facing it should be checked to see that it is not rotting,

Cantilevered and anchored walls (Figure 6) - rely on earth pressure on
the low side, rather than self-weight, to provided the restoring force and
an adequate factor of safety. These walls may comprise:
• a line of touching bored piers (contiguous bored pile wall) or
• sprayed concrete panels between bored piers (shotcrete wall) or
• horizontal timber or concrete planks spanning between upright timber Figure 5 - Typical reinforced soil wall
or steel soldier piles or
• steel sheet piles.
Depending on the form of construction and ground conditions, walls in
excess of 3 m height normally require at least one row of permanent
ground anchors.
INSPECTION
All walls should be inspected at least once a year, looking for tilting and
other signs of deterioration. Concrete walls should be inspected for
cracking and rust stains as for formed concrete gravity walls. Contiguous
bored pile walls can have gaps between the piles - look for loss of soil
from behind which can become a major difficulty if it is not corrected.
Timber walls should be inspected for rot, as for timber crib walls. Steel
sheet piles should be inspected for signs of rusting. In addition, you
should make sure that ground anchors are maintained as described in
Figure 6 - Typical cantilevered or
GeoGuide LR4 under the heading "Rock bolts and rock anchors".
anchored wall
One of the most important issues for walls is that their internal drainage systems are operational. Frequently verify that
internal drainage pipes and surface interception drains around the wall are not blocked nor have become inoperative.

AUSTRALIAN GEOGUIDE LR8 (CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE)
HILLSIDE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE
Sensible development practices are required when building on hillsides, particularly if the hillside has more than a low
risk of instability (GeoGuide LR7). Only building techniques intended to maintain, or reduce, the overall level of landslide
risk should be considered. Examples of good hillside construction practice are illustrated below.
WHY ARE THESE PRACTICES GOOD?
Roadways and parking areas - are paved and incorporate kerbs which prevent water discharging straight into the
hillside (GeoGuide LR5).
Cuttings - are supported by retaining walls (GeoGuide LR6).
Retaining walls - are engineer designed to withstand the lateral earth pressures and surcharges expected, and include
drains to prevent water pressures developing in the backfill. Where the ground slopes steeply down towards the high
side of a retaining wall, the disturbing force (see GeoGuide LR6) can be two or more times that in level ground.
Retaining walls must be designed taking these forces into account.
Sewage - whether treated or not is either taken away in pipes or contained in properly founded tanks so it cannot soak
into the ground.
Surface water - from roofs and other hard surfaces is piped away to a suitable discharge point rather than being allowed
to infiltrate into the ground. Preferably, the discharge point will be in a natural creek where ground water exits, rather
than enters, the ground. Shallow, lined, drains on the surface can fulfil the same purpose (GeoGuide LR5).
Surface loads - are minimised. No fill embankments have been built. The house is a lightweight structure. Foundation
loads have been taken down below the level at which a landslide is likely to occur and, preferably, to rock. This sort of
construction is probably not applicable to soil slopes (GeoGuide LR3). If you are uncertain whether your site has rock
near the surface, or is essentially a soil slope, you should engage a geotechnical practitioner to find out.
Flexible structures - have been used because they can tolerate a certain amount of movement with minimal signs of
distress and maintain their functionality.
Vegetation clearance - on soil slopes has been kept to a reasonable minimum. Trees, and to a lesser extent smaller
vegetation, take large quantities of water out of the ground every day. This lowers the ground water table, which in turn
helps to maintain the stability of the slope. Large scale clearing can result in a rise in water table with a consequent
increase in the likelihood of a landslide (GeoGuide LR5). An exception may have to be made to this rule on steep rock
slopes where trees have little effect on the water table, but their roots pose a landslide hazard by dislodging boulders.
Possible effects of ignoring good construction practices are illustrated on page 2. Unfortunately, these poor construction
practices are not as unusual as you might think and are often chosen because, on the face of it, they will save the
developer, or owner, money. You should not lose sight of the fact that the cost and anguish associated with any one of
the disasters illustrated, is likely to more than wipe out any apparent savings at the outset.
ADOPT GOOD PRACTICE ON HILLSIDE SITES
174 Australian Geomechanics Vol 42 No 1 March 2007
Page 44
AUSTRALIAN GEOGUIDE LR8 (CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE)
WHY ARE THESE PRACTICES POOR?
Roadways and parking areas - are unsurfaced and lack proper table drains (gutters) causing surface water to pond and
soak into the ground.
Cut and fill - has been used to balance earthworks quantities and level the site leaving unstable cut faces and added
large surface loads to the ground. Failure to compact the fill properly has led to settlement, which will probably continue
for several years after completion. The house and pool have been built on the fill and have settled with it and cracked.
Leakage from the cracked pool and the applied surface loads from the fill have combined to cause landslides.
Retaining walls - have been avoided, to minimise cost, and hand placed rock walls used instead. Without applying
engineering design principles, the walls have failed to provide the required support to the ground and have failed,
creating a very dangerous situation.
A heavy, rigid, house - has been built on shallow, conventional, footings. Not only has the brickwork cracked because
of the resulting ground movements, but it has also become involved in a man-made landslide.
Soak-away drainage - has been used for sewage and surface water run-off from roofs and pavements. This water
soaks into the ground and raises the water table (GeoGuide LR5). Subsoil drains that run along the contours should be
avoided for the same reason. If felt necessary, subsoil drains should run steeply downhill in a chevron, or herring bone,
pattern. This may conflict with the requirements for effluent and surface water disposal (GeoGuide LR9) and if so, you
will need to seek professional advice.
Rock debris - from landslides higher up on the slope seems likely to pass through the site. Such locations are often
referred to by geotechnical practitioners as "debris flow paths". Rock is normally even denser than ordinary fill, so even
quite modest boulders are likely to weigh many tonnes and do a lot of damage once they start to roll. Boulders have
been known to travel hundreds of metres downhill leaving behind a trail of destruction.
Vegetation - has been completely cleared, leading to a possible rise in the water table and increased landslide risk
(GeoGuide LR5).
