           2.0    PROPOSED EARTHWORKS

           It is understood from Matrix Pty Ltd that site earthworks will comprise cut and fill but will not include
           excavation below 5mAHD and will not include excavation within the area where one sample, indicating the
           possible presence of some very low level ASS, was encountered. It is also understood that the currently
           proposed footings are displacement piles (e.g. steel screw piles or driven timber piles) and disturbance of
           ASS, if/where they exist is not proposed.

           3.0 ASS RISK

           Based on the results of the ASS assessment (which indicated that low levels of ASS were present in only
           one of the samples tested) and the proposed earthworks (which, it is understood from Matrix, do not propose
           any excavation or disturbance of soils below 5mAHD), it is considered that the risk of adverse effects from
           ASS presence at the site (for the currently proposed development) is very low.
