8. Limitations

Douglas Partners Pty Ltd (DP) has prepared this report for the proposed Youngcare facility at 32
Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads. The work was carried out under DP’s Conditions of Engagement. This
report is provided for the exclusive use of De Luca Corporation Pty Ltd for this project only and for the
purposes as described in the report. It should not be used by or relied upon for other projects or
purposes on the same or other site or by a third party. Any party so relying upon this report beyond its
exclusive use and purpose as stated above, and without the express written consent of DP, does so
entirely at its own risk and without recourse to DP for any loss or damage. In preparing this report DP
has necessarily relied upon information provided by the client and/or their agents.

The results provided in the report are indicative of the subsurface conditions on the site only at the
specific sampling and/or testing locations, and then only to the depths investigated and at the time the
work was carried out. Subsurface conditions can change abruptly due to variable geological processes
and also as a result of human influences. Such changes may occur after DP’s field testing has been
completed.

DP’s advice is based upon the conditions encountered during this investigation. The accuracy of the
advice provided by DP in this report may be affected by undetected variations in ground conditions
across the site between and beyond the sampling and/or testing locations. The advice may also be
limited by budget constraints imposed by others or by site accessibility.

The assessment of atypical safety hazards arising from this advice is restricted to the components set
out in this report and based on known project conditions and stated design advice and assumptions.
While some recommendations for safe controls may be provided, detailed ‘safety in design’ assessment
is outside the current scope of this report and requires additional project data and assessment.

This report must be read in conjunction with all of the attached and should be kept in its entirety without
separation of individual pages or sections. DP cannot be held responsible for interpretations or
conclusions made by others unless they are supported by an expressed statement, interpretation,
outcome or conclusion stated in this report.

This report, or sections from this report, should not be used as part of a specification for a project, without
review and agreement by DP. This is because this report has been written as advice and opinion rather
than instructions for construction.
