Abstract
This document reports on a Bushfire and Natural Hazards Collaborative Research Centre (BNHCRC) utilisation project that has sought to develop information on the most effective means to address York’s high risk buildings. It has also sought to develop a better understanding of the logistics that would be faced by the state emergency services and the local shire council in a rare but credible earthquake. The utilisation project is entitled “Earthquake Mitigation of WA Regional Towns: York Case Study”, and sits under the over-arching BNHCRC Project A9 “Cost-effective Mitigation Strategy Development for Building Related Earthquake Risk”. The work commenced in January 2018 and was undertaken over a two year period. It involved the University of Adelaide and Geoscience Australia as the CRC research partners, and DFES and the Shire of York as the end users. The WA DPLH has also been a participant, though not a formal BNHCRC end user. The project had the following key components:- • Develop a building, business and demographic exposure database for York with the attributes collected tailored for modelling earthquake impact and for quantifying avoided consequences in economic terms. • Examine the benefits and costs of retrofitting old URM buildings to improve the resilience of them to earthquake. This is to range in scale from individual households and businesses up to the community as a whole. • Prepare earthquake impact scenarios suitable for emergency management planning by DFES and the Shire of York.
