Landslide Hazards
This non-mandatory Handbook has been developed to provide guidance to its users on the issues relating to building on sites that are prone to landslide hazard, including the planning, design, construction and maintenance of buildings and structures on such sites.

The Engineering of the Coastal Limestones of Western Australia
In March 2008, the Western Australian Chapter of the AGS held a seminar on The Engineering of the Coastal Limestones of Western Australia. The aim of the seminar was to educate engineers and geologists about the characteristics of the limestone of Western Australia and provide case studies that demonstrate the engineering challenges presented by this material.
The seminar included presentations by academics and local practitioners who have many years of experience in characterising and working with Limestones in Western Australia. An afternoon field trip to sites around Perth was conducted to observe the stratigraphy and engineering features of the limestones.
Some of the presentations given at this seminar are available to download:
- Bruce Bulley – Slope Stability Aspects of the Coastal Limestones of Kings Park and Botanic Gardens
- Bob Gozzard – Karst features in the coastal limestones of WA
- Charles Waterton – Strength Description of Coastal & Marine Limestones
