            1 INTRODUCTION
            Arcos Unit Group Pty Ltd (Arcos) was commissioned to undertake a geotechnical investigation for the
            proposed residential development located 2/27 Ross Crescent, Sunshine Beach.
            It is understood that the proposed development will comprise a new garage and guest pavilion (two-storey) as
            well as a standalone home office. The two-storey addition will also include a lift. Bulk earthworks comprising
            cuts of up to approximately 1.8 m are anticipated as part of the works.
            This report outlines the results of the investigation, analysis, and interpretive reporting on the following items:
            •    All factual information resulting from the investigation (investigation methodologies, desktop review, test
                 location plans, bore logs);
            •    Summary of subsurface conditions and adopted subsurface conditions including groundwater;
            •    Earthworks and site preparation comments;
            •    Foundation soil reactivity in accordance with AS2870;
            •    Foundation options and design parameters;
            •    Geotechnical retaining wall design parameters;
            •    Slope stability assessment in accordance with AGS Guidelines; and
            •    Construction constraints and risks (if any) from a geotechnical context.

            2 SITE DESCRIPTION
            The site is located at 2/27 Ross Crescent, Sunshine Beach and is described as Lot 2 on GTP100987. The site
            is broadly rectangular in shape and is occupied by an existing terraced dwelling. The terraces are supported
            by a series of rock grouted and boulder retaining walls. The remainder of the site is moderately vegetated with
            shrubbery and semi-mature trees measuring up to approximately 5-10 m high. Topographically, the site falls
            towards the coastline in the east at grades at between 20˚ and 30˚.
