GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT OF REVISED PLANS
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF 41 TALLOWWOOD PLACE, BLACK MOUNTAIN



Dear Romildo & Marcus,

As requested, Tectonic has completed a geotechnical assessment of the revised lot reconfiguration
layout plan for the above address. It is understood that this letter will be submitted to Noosa Council
(NC), to address an Information Request (NC Ref. RAL24/0003, dated 20 March 2024).

Tectonic conducted a geotechnical investigation for the proposed subdivision (Ref. Tectonic Report No.
23099-001-Rev0, dated 22 May 2023). That investigation comprised test pitting, laboratory testing, and
qualitative/quantitative slope stability assessments. The Tectonic report concluded that there would be a
Low Risk of slope instability affecting the future recommended building area, subject to implementation of
geotechnical recommendations given in Section 6 of that report.

We have received a revised plan of the proposed lot reconfiguration (Max Waterson & Associates Ref. No
23-6047AB, Addendum 1 dated 22 May 2024). Our responses to the NC Information Request are as
follows:
    1. The proposed central lot boundary as per the revised drawings outlined above is considered
       acceptable from a slope stability viewpoint and is in general accordance with the recommendations
       made in our above referenced report.
    2. The proposed building envelope as depicted on the referenced layout drawing is in general
       accordance with the recommendations provided in our report.
    3. We have been advised that the removal of the existing track and grading of the nearby ground
       surface will be undertaken as part of the Operational Works (OPW) application, and thus, does not
       form part of this application. Provided such works are undertaken during OPW this is considered
       acceptable by Tectonic. Tectonic must review OPW drawings, once they are available to confirm
       they are in accordance with the recommendations of our report.

The above statements are made on the proviso that the geotechnical recommendations as provided in
Section 6 of the Tectonic referenced report are adhered to. Tectonic must review any changes to the
proposed layout plan/development to assess any implications associated with slope instability.

Your attention is drawn to the document Limitations, which is attached to this letter report.

Please contact the undersigned should you wish to discuss any of the above matters.

This document has been prepared for the purpose outlined in Tectonic’s proposal and no responsibility is
accepted for the use of this document, in whole or in part, for any other purpose.

The scope of Tectonic’s Services are as described in Tectonic’s proposal, and are subject to restrictions
and limitations. Tectonic did not perform a complete assessment of all possible conditions or
circumstances that may exist at the site referenced in the report. If a service is not expressly indicated, do
not assume it has been provided. If a matter is not addressed, do not assume that any determination has
been made by Tectonic in regards to it.

Conditions may exist which were undetectable given that economic and time constraints limit the practical
extent of geotechnical investigation. Variations in conditions may occur between investigation locations,
and there may be special conditions pertaining to the site which have not been revealed by the
investigation and which have not therefore been taken into account in the document. Where variations exist
on site, additional studies and actions may be required.

Tectonic’s opinions are based upon information that existed at the time that the work was performed. The
passage of time, man-made or natural events, may alter the site conditions. It is understood that the
Services undertaken allowed Tectonic to form an opinion of the actual conditions of the site at the time the
site was visited and cannot be used to assess the effect of any subsequent changes in the quality of the
site, or its surroundings, or any laws or regulations.

Any assessments made in the preparation of this document are based on the conditions indicated from
published sources and the findings of the investigation described. Actual subsurface conditions may differ
from those indicated in the document (e.g. between boreholes or test pits). No warranty is included, either
express or implied, that the actual conditions will conform exactly to the assessments contained in this
document.

Where data supplied by the client or other external sources, including previous site investigation data, have
been used, it has been assumed that the information is correct unless otherwise stated. No responsibility is
accepted by Tectonic for incomplete or inaccurate data supplied by others.

This document is provided for the sole use by the Client and its professional advisers. No responsibility
whatsoever for the contents of this document will be accepted to any person other than the Client. Any use
which a third party makes of this document, or any reliance on or decisions to be made based on it, is the
responsibility of such third parties. Tectonic accepts no responsibility for damages, if any, suffered by any
third party as a result of decisions made or actions based on this document.
