3.0     ASSESSMENT OF LAND STABILITY
3.1   Existing Conditions
The Noosa Planning Scheme 2017 includes a landslide hazard overlay map (Ref. extract in Text Figure 7).
This site falls within the landslide hazard zone, therefore requiring this site specific slope stability
assessment to be undertaken.




                                                                           Site location




Text Figure 7: Extract from Noosa Council landslide hazard overlay map

It should be noted that the Noosa landslide hazard map is a broad-scale indication of the potential
landslide susceptibility and is superseded by site specific investigation and analysis. The site did not
exhibit any indicators of global, natural slope instability. No landslide back scarps or areas of naturally
‘hummocky’ ground were observed.
