        Table 3 below is our qualitative assessment of landslide risk for the development site. A summary of
        qualitative terminology for use in assessing risk to property is attached (taken from AGS 2007).

        The potential impacts on slope stability of the development components have been assessed, and the
        measures recommended below in Section 6 have been designed to mitigate those impacts.
