                            17 WEBB ROAD, SUNSHINE BEACH
                            PROPOSED RESIDENCE

1.0      INTRODUCTION
This report details the results of a geotechnical investigation undertaken for the proposed renovation to the
existing residence at 17 Webb Road, Sunshine Beach. We understand that the structural integrity of the
existing building has been compromised by inadequate stormwater drainage, and sections of the building are
to be renovated to improve the current conditions.

The geotechnical investigation was performed by Tectonic Geotechnical Pty Ltd (Tectonic) for Mr Murray
Charlton, in accordance with Proposal P14259-Rev0, dated 2 December 2014. Barlow Shelley Consulting
Engineers (Barlow Shelley) are the consulting civil and structural engineers for the project.

The investigation comprised a site walk-over by an experienced geotechnical engineer, drilling of boreholes,
and subsequent laboratory testing of a soil sample. This report summarises the results of the investigation
and includes a slope stability assessment. Recommendations are provided regarding the design of
earthworks, retaining structures, footings, and drainage.

2.0      PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based upon architectural drawing provided by PCA Architects, it is understood that the development will
comprise renovations to the residence within the building envelope of the existing residence. Construction is
anticipated to comprise slab on ground and masonry walls for the ground floor, with light-weight materials
used to construct the first floor. The proposed building area is approximately level, therefore minimal
earthworks are likely to be required. A site plan illustrating the proposed site layout is presented in Text
Figure 1 below (taken from the PCA Architects drawing).
