Report on Geotechnical Investigation
Proposed Youngcare Facility
32 Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads



1. Introduction

This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation undertaken by Douglas Partners Pty Ltd
(DP) for the proposed Youngcare facility at 32 Viewland Drive, Noosa Heads.

The investigation was undertaken at the request of De Luca Corporation Pty Ltd following authorisation
to proceed received 27 November 2020, and was undertaken in general accordance with DP’s proposal
SSC200322 dated 23 November 2020.

It is understood that the proposed development will comprise a series of one and two storey specialist
disability accommodation dwellings, with associated driveway and car parking.

The aim of this investigation was to assess the following:
•       subsurface conditions including groundwater;
•       earthworks and site preparation, including excavatability, batter slopes, suitability of site soils for
        reuse, compaction standards;
•       foundation soil reactivity in accordance with AS 2870 (2011);
•       suitable high level footing options, allowable bearing pressures and estimated settlements;
•       suitable piled foundation types;
•       ultimate end bearing and shaft adhesion pressures for axially loaded piles in compression;
•       retaining wall design parameters; and
•       indicative pavement design parameters.

The investigation comprised the drilling and sampling of five bores followed by laboratory testing. Details
of the field work and laboratory testing are presented in this report, together, with comments on the
items listed above.

This report must be read in conjunction with the notes entitled “About This Report” in Appendix A along
with any other attached explanatory notes and should be kept in its entirety without separation of
individual pages or sections.
