1.0        INTRODUCTION

1.1        Preamble
Under the instructions of Rienmac Pty Ltd, GeoConsulting have undertaken a geotechnical stability review
for Lot 34 Marcus Dunes Court, Marcus Dunes.


The State Planning Policy Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide (SPP 1/03)
refers to a natural landslide hazard management area as: -                                                      5
      a)   An area identified by a local government in its planning scheme consistent with the conclusions of
           a landslide hazard assessment prepared in accordance with this Policy; or
      b) Where such a study has not been undertaken, an area identified by a local government in its
           planning scheme and including all land of 15% and greater slope and other land known or
           suspected by the local government as being geologically unstable, together with other areas that
           the local government considers may be adversely affected by a landslide; or
      c)   Where an area has not been identified by a local government, all land with a slope of 15% or
           greater.


1.2        Scope of Investigation
                                                                                                                t
The purposes of this investigation where to: -
           ♦   Identify sub-soil types.
           ♦   Establish soil parameters.
           ♦   Comment upon site features likely to affect construction over the proposed residential area.
           ♦   Comment upon the geotechnical aspects of the allotment in regards to slope instability and in
               accordance with the objectives presented in Sunshine Coast Regional Council, Slope and
               Geological Stability Policy.
           ♦   Make recommendations for building construction on the allotment that will maintain or
               enhance the relative slope stability.                                                            r
1.3        Objective
The specific objective of SPP 1/03 is to ensure that the development maintains the safety of people,
property and hazardous materials manufactured or stored in bulk from the risk of landslide.
