2.0 METHODOLOGY

The geotechnical investigation comprised the drilling and sampling of 2 boreholes to
depths of 1.4m and 1.5m (drilling refusal), using hand held auger equipment.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing was conducted adjacent to the
boreholes and at two additional locations.

The soil classification descriptions and field tests were carried out in general
accordance with Australian Standards.

Borehole records, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer test results and a site plan showing
the test locations are appended to the report.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION

The site of the proposed development is located at 22 Arakoon Crescent, Sunshine
Beach.

At the time of the investigation, the site was occupied by an existing split level
residence and swimming pool. Vegetation comprised short grass cover and
gardens, with medium to large shrubs and trees at the rear of the site.

The site sloped initially steeply from the road towards the east before flattening out
behind the existing residence. The drainage conditions were considered to be fair
to good.
