The Australian Geomechanics Society has published a series of Geoguides to help manage development on hillsides in Australia.
We look like having something similar in Tasmania – our own geo(tech)guides, specifically developed for our own slopes and varied geology. Mineral Resources Tasmania has this month commissioned me to put together a series of geotechnical templates summarising in compact form useful geotechnical information for hillside development on each of the main geological units in Tasmania.
These will complement The Tasmanian Landslide Code: Geotechnical guidance for regulators and practitioners, my draft 2014 guidelines currently doing the regulators’ circuit.
