Groundwater
No seepage or pooling of surface or ground water was observed.
Surface Drainage
Surface drainage across the site is generally good due to the sloping nature of the ground. Stormwater runoff
was observed to be directed from pipes and strip drains to discharge outside the property boundaries.
Vegetation
Some mature trees up to approximately 6 m vertical height were observed surrounding the existing
residence (offsite). Trees were generally straight with signs of minor inclination/tilting downslope. This may
be due to downslope creep.
Existing Structures
Minor signs of settlement and/or movement were observed in retaining walls (landscaping), however overall,
no signs of movement associated with landslide activity were observed on the existing residence. No
observations were made inside the residence.
Photograph 3 shows movement/settlement in the retaining walls in the rear section (pathway) of the
residence (west). Photograph 4 shows minor deflection in the paved pathway adjacent to the location of the
proposed new pool. The observation of deflection and/or settlement in structures can be an indication of
slope instability or creep.
