Site Investigation Report

FINDINGS

All the field information and test results collected during our site investigation and
detailed in this report, including any site plans, log and data sheets together form the
basis of our recommendations.

The soil profile encountered during our investigations, and as reported, was
reasonably and acceptably consistent across the proposed development, and within
our expectations from regional experience and correlation with The Qld Dept of
Mines/Energy Geology Sheet 9445/1999 (Gympie).

The Qld Dept Mines/Energy Geology Sheet 9445/1999 describes the geology as
Early-Middle Triassic, Kin Kin Beds, arenite, argillite or phyllite.

The proposed site is on a near level cut pad with neighbouring vegetation consisting
of grasses.

Slope stability problems were not evident during our investigations.

The susceptibility to flooding from groundwater is low and site drainage was recorded
as poor. No water table was encountered on the day of our site investigation.

Moderately weathered excavatable rock was encountered at, and is expected at,
relatively shallow depths across the proposed site.

No fill was recorded in our borehole excavations.
The resistance of the soil encountered was tested with an approved 9kg Dynamic

Cone Penetrometer and the results recorded at the appropriate levels on the attached
log sections.
