Level 1 Testing was generally performed in line with AS3798-2007 “Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development” and provides inspection of the construction of controlled fill and compaction testing in accordance with AS1289 “Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes”. The Level 1 testing was undertaken by Geotechnicians with supervision provided by a Geotechnical Engineer from GTS. 2 SCOPE OF WORKS 2.1 AREA OF WORK Geotechnical Testing Services provided Level 1 inspection and testing of the engineered fill placed across Lots 701 to 726. The depth of fill across the site varied from 300mm to around 800mm with the approximate locations shown on the attached site plan. 2.2 PLACEMENT SPECIFICATION Whilst there was no earthworks specification compiled for this project, the placement of the fill and associated works generally followed the recommendations outlined in AS3798-2007 “Guidelines for Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Developments” and the construction specification. In summary, the earthworks comply with the following: The layers for residential lots are to be compacted to at least 95% of the density ratio in accordance with AS1289 5.1.1 (or 5.7.1), based on Standard compaction. In accordance with Table 8.1 of AS3798-2007, the site would be considered large scale (greater than 1500m2) and therefore a minimum of 1 test per 2500m2 or 3 tests per visit are required. It is noted that under this scale, not every lot requires testing, however, the testing was generally conducted so that each lot was tested at some stage. Geotechnical Testing Services (Southern) Report: 17C 0704 Report Page 4 3 INSPECTION AND TESTING Inspection of the excavated base was conducted by a Senior Geotechnical Engineer and it was observed that the unsuitable material (vegetation, top soil/silt) had been removed with the base consisting of a Sandy Clay material of good strength. Level 1 inspection and testing was undertaken by a geotechnician from GTS who nominated the timing and location of the in-situ density tests. The approximate location of each test is recorded on the test reports and attached fill plan. Laboratory compaction testing was undertaken on a one to one basis at our Bendigo laboratory. A summary of the results of the compaction control testing is presented in a table below with the full NATA endorsed test reports included in the Appendix. 4 SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS A summary of the test results is included in the following table with full NATA accredited reports included in the Appendix. It is noted that following the initial lot of testing in February, the allotments were adjusted from Stage 14 to Stage 7, hence the new lot numbers are included in the table below with the original numbers that are on the test reports in brackets.

The placement of fill and construction techniques adopted was observed throughout the project. Based on observations made by GTS personnel and the results of field and laboratory tests, we consider that the fill has been placed and compacted and is considered to be engineered or controlled fill. Therefore, subject to residential site classifications, the controlled fill material is deemed a suitable founding medium for future residential buildings. It is noted that top soil material may be spread across the sites following completion of these earthworks and that this top soil material is not considered controlled fill.
