Slope Stability Failures:
Mitigation and Liability
Slope Stability Legal Expertise
Sydney’s hilly terrain and rainfall make slope failures a perennial risk. The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 mandates stability assessments for developments on slopes >10%.
Our Role
We provide comprehensive support to safeguard structures and resolve complex site issues with precision and expertise.
-
Forensic Analysis
Using commercially available software and undertaking site inspections to pinpoint failure triggers (e.g., unauthorised excavation).
-
Compliance Audits
Ensuring retaining walls, shoring walls, or batters are constructed to specifications, reducing the risk of structural failure.
Case Highlight
In Wollongong, a landslide damaged homes below a cut-and-fill development. Our testimony proved inadequate drainage caused the failure, resulting in a large settlement.
