Site Details:
Description               The allotment is 15.579 ha in are and of irregular shape. The details in this report
                          are to augment our report SER 2184 (November 2020). The SER 2184 report
                          addresses engineering foundation and effluent disposal parameters for the
                          proposed farm stay cottage to be sited in the far northeastern allotment
                          corner. This report reviews engineering parameter for building and effluent
                          application in the southeastern allotment quadrant.

                          The proposed structures include-:
                                                               * home office
                                                               * 2 X studio cottages

                          It is understood the proposed structures are to be clad and supported by pad
                          footings or a 'sure foot' footing system and suspended timber floor. On-site
                          effluent disposal required with tank water supply. Photographs attached.


Topography                Contours overlain on PLATE 1/2. All proposed structures are upon a common
                          ridge-line. The cross fall is from the east to the west. Locally the office/ cabin is
                          upon a flattened crown with moderate/ steep grades extending to the
                          receding gully. The flank to the north grades at 1:3 (V:H). The proposed studio
                          cabins are on the flank that grades at 1:12 (V:H) with steeper grades on the
                          northern flank of 1:6/ 1:4.

Vegetation                Short pasture grasses, stands of large trees to the east/ southwest and within
                          the receding gully head. Root networks over the land surface.

Drainage                  The ridge line has a cross fall to the west, with the predominate fall to the
                          north/ northwest. Receding gully and depression over the northern flank.
                          Small dam, well away. All building areas and the flank proposed for effluent
                          application are well drained. The access driveway is below the general land
                          surface.

Geology                   Regionally described as the Kin Kin Beds.
                          Typical rock types are-:
                                                     * phyllite - laminar, micaceous soft rock
                                                     * arenite - consolidated rock of sand texture
                                                     * argillite - indurated rock of siltstone / claystone
