      The proposed subdivision boundary runs south-west to north-east across the site, just off the southern edge
      of a spur. The proposed residence on the future allotment would be sited on this spur, with the top sloping at
      around 5° (9 %) to the north and south, then extending to 9° to 10° (16 % to 18 %) around mid slope; and
      steepening further to around 20° (36 %) around 30 m downslope of the residence. Slopes were noted to
      increase consistently, with no irregular surface features observed which would indicate slope instability.
