2.3    Groundwater
No seepage or ‘springs’ were observed in the vicinity of the proposed house.

2.4    Surface Drainage
The proposed house site has a very small stormwater catchment, with slopes falling to the north. Natural
surface drainage follows surface contours, mostly to the north. The proposed building area appeared to be
relatively well drained at the time of the walk-over. Surface water is expected to drain rapidly from the site
considering the moderate gradients, relatively low permeability clay soils and shallow depth to rock.

2.5    Vegetation
The site was generally clear and open with grass extending down slope, and occasional trees and shrubs.
Trees were not observed to be unusually bent or tilted.

2.6    Buildings and Other Structures
There were no structures on the site at the time of walkover. Houses on adjacent blocks to the east had
been constructed at a similar point in the topography (i.e. on cut/fill building pads formed in the northern
facing slope).
