1. Introduction
This report details the results of a geotechnical investigation undertaken for the proposed residential unit
development at 17 Bottlebrush Avenue, Noosa Heads. The investigation was performed by Tectonic for
Made One Pty Ltd, generally in accordance with Proposal P25626-Rev0, dated 16 December 2025. Recor
are the structural consultants and project managers for the build.
The investigation comprised drilling of boreholes at two locations and a single standalone dynamic cone
penetrometer (DCP) test, across accessible areas of the development footprint. This report summarises
the results of the investigation and provides geotechnical recommendations regarding earthworks and
footings, together with temporary and permanent basement retention. In summary, subject to the
implementation of the recommendations made herein, it is assessed that there should be a Low Risk of
slope instability affecting the proposed development in accordance with the Australian Geomechanics
Society Guidelines for Landslide Risk Management, dated March 2007 (AGS 2007).
2. Proposed Development
Preliminary architectural drawings were supplied to Tectonic (Ref. Blackwood Architecture, Project No.
202612, Sheet Nos. DA1.01 to DA6.05 [not inclusive], Issue A, Dated 11 December 2025). These plans
indicate that the development will comprise a three-storey unit building, over a single level basement
carpark. Construction will include a combination of masonry and lightweight materials, suspended
concrete floors, and pools on both the second level and roof.
No earthworks details were provided at the time of reporting; however, the plans indicate that
excavations for the basement would likely be in the order of about 5 m deep to the rear, with the cut
daylighting at the front. Localised filling of less than 1 m high is anticipated. Excavations will extend
close to the site boundaries on the northern and southern sides, and therefore, some form of temporary
retention will likely be required. Isolated deeper excavations may be required for the lift overrun pit and
other elements. A basement layout plan and 3D render view are shown in Text Figure 1 below.
