South Launceston landslide maps released
Mineral Resources Tasmania has released a new set of landslide hazard maps covering the Evandale to Launceston region. The maps, and accompanying notes, are the latest addition to the Tasmanian Landslide Map Series and provide up-to-date information on landslide inventory, geomorphology, and susceptibility based on advanced modelling and mapping using LiDAR data.
The recently released data provides a useful tool for identifying areas of potential instability, and will help planners, engineers, and decision-makers to understand this landslide-prone landscape. It also completes the Tamar Valley map series, and the data has informed the latest update to Tasmania’s statewide Landslide Planning Layer.
