1    INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geotechnical assessment of the site for the proposed alterations and
additions at Lot 1 Bayview Road, Noosa Heads, QLD. The location of the site is shown on the attached
Figure 1. The assessment was commissioned by Annunziato Pellicano (Wemear Madoc Pty Ltd ATF The
Annunziatio Pellicano Family Trust) by return of a signed ‘Acceptance of Proposal’ form, dated 29 August
2024. The commission was on the basis of our proposal (Ref. P61162UR) dated 22 August 2024.

The site was inspected by our geotechnical engineer, Cody Surawski, in order to assess the stability of the
site and the effect on stability as a result of the proposed development. This report presents a summary of
our site observations, a review of the subsurface conditions, the results of our geotechnical assessment, and
geotechnical comments and recommendations with regards to the proposed development.



2    DETAILS OF THE SITE AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The site comprises Lot 1 on plan number SP116707, as indicated on the Noosa Council’s Public Mapping
System (‘Noosa Plan 2020’). The coordinates of the site are approximately Latitude -26.387952 and Longitude
153.095775.

We have been provided with the following information:
• Architectural drawings (Drawing Numbers A101-103, A201-202, A204-206, A301-302, A401-402, Rev. 14,
  dated 9 July 2024) prepared by Collins Building Designs;
• Structural design drawings for the existing house (Drawing Numbers N.1.1, S.1. Rev P5, S.1.2, S.1.3 Rev P5,
  S.1.4 Rev P5, S.2.1, S.3.1 – S.3.5 Rev A, S.4.1 Rev A, S.5.1-S.5.2 Rev A, S.6.1 Rev B, S.7.1 Rev B, S.8.1, dated
  May 2019) prepared by SCG Consulting Engineers (SCG). The structural drawings indicated that “all
  footings to be founded 300 into medium dense sands or natural stiff clays, with a minimum allowable
  bearing capacity of 100kPa to be confirmed by geotechnical testing”; and
• A ‘Soil Test Report’ (Report No. 180091(S).Lot1, dated 3 May 2018) prepared by Australian Soil
  Investigations (ASI).

Based on our review of the provided information and additional information provided by Glenn Watson of
Glenn Watson Building and Design, we understand that following partial demolition of the proposed
alterations and additions will include:
• A single level addition (including two additional bedrooms and a bathroom) constructed to the north-east
  of the existing house with a roof garden provided over the addition. The addition will be suspended over
  the hillside and supported on piles extending through the terraced landscaped yard area below;
• A lift and walkway to be constructed along the northern side of the house to provide access between the
  proposed lower level (equivalent to the proposed bedroom floor level) and the existing house floor levels.
  The walkway will extend below the northern end of the existing pool which is suspended over the slope.
  Excavations to a maximum depth of approximately 1.5m are expected for the lift; and
