	REGIONAL MAPPING - TASMANIAN LANDSLIDE MAP SERIES Regional landslide susceptibility maps, at a scale of 1:25 000 (Tasmanian Landslide Map Series), are currently being produced for the major urban areas of Tasmania using a methodology that differs significantly from earlier maps. The new maps are intended to give general guidance to Local Government (councils) on landslide susceptibility in the area covered. The maps are not intended to be used for making development decisions on a block-by-block basis in the absence of a suitable geotechnical report. The new maps supersede some earlier 1:25 000 Scale Land Stability Series mapping in the North West Coast and Tamar Valley areas. It should be noted that information from the earlier maps may have been incorporated into council planning schemes. Maps of the Hobart, Glenorchy and Launceston areas have been completed. These maps contain information on the distribution and type of known landslides and potential susceptibility zones for rock fall, debris flows and deep-seated landslides. Preparation of maps of the northwest coast area (from Boat Harbour Beach to Devonport) is currently in progress and is supported by the Natural Disaster Mitigation Programme. Copies of these maps and data can be obtained from MRT in paper or in digital GIS (georeferenced raster images and shapefiles) format or downloaded from our internet site in pdf format. A document outlining the methodology can also be downloaded from our internet site. TASMANIAN LANDSLIDE MAP SERIES MAPS Hobart area Glenorchy area Launceston area
