                                                                                   Report No. 13N 682




While the general profile has been interpreted as being relatively uniform, some variation may be
present in areas not covered by this investigation.

       2.2     Topography

The site is located on the eastern side of Noosa Dunes Court and slopes relatively consistently
towards the east at gradients of approximately 15%. Minor undulations at the surface may be
attributed to the removal of trees/vegetation.

       2.3     Vegetation

The site is covered with patchy/clumpy low vegetation comprising grasses and shrubs. Small to
medium sized trees (2m – 5m height) are located across the site, and are all generally inclined
towards the west. This inclination is likely the effect of prolonged exposure to predominant easterly
sea breezes.

       2.4     Groundwater

Ground conditions at the site were observed to be dry to moist, with no surface water or springs
noted.

       2.5     Drainage & Erosion

The drainage of the natural slope is towards the east. Due to the relatively free draining nature of
the near surface soils, it is expected that only minor surface run-off will traverse the site from the
adjoining sites to the north and south, and only during extended periods of very high rainfall.

       2.6     Existing Structures

A low rock retaining wall and garden were observed along the north western street frontage of the
site. No other existing structures were observed across the site.
