Abstract
This document presents an assessment of two earthquake scenarios in Melbourne. The two earthquake scenarios are considered the maximum magnitude earthquakes possible on the two fault structures; the Beaumaris Monocline and the Selwyn Fault. The assessments are based on using GA's earthquake risk modelling software, EQRM. The software is an open-source code that is capable of modelling earthquake scenario ground motion and scenario loss. Necessary inputs include the geometry of the fault structures, appropriate ground-motion and site classification models for the area concerned and exposure information describing the built environment. Impact assessment outputs include ground shaking intensity and residential loss estimates. The information from this scenario assessment can be used to inform emergency management planning and preparation in Victoria and support the national understanding of earthquake impact.
