4.3 Geology
Available geological information 1 indicates that the site is underlain by Pleistocene age quartz dune sand
(described as “parabolic dunes”; Ref. extract of published mapping in Text Figure 8). The headlands to the
north of the site are indicated to consist of materials derived of the Tiaro Coal Measures, a late Triassic to
Jurassic age sedimentary deposit. These materials are expected to underlie the dune sands proximal to the
site at depth.
