2 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The site is located on the border between two geological units, as shown in Figure 1. The location of the proposed
dwelling is underlain by Quaternary aged Tiaro Coal Measures, which typically comprises “Clay, silt, sand and gravel;
flood-plain alluvium”, while the lower side of the batter is underlain by Quaternary aged deposits, typically comprising
“Mud, muddy sand, sand and minor peat; swamp and heath deposits in coastal areas”. The encountered material is
in general agreement with the predicted geological units.
