This dataset represents the municipal\u2011level distribution of earthquake hazard across the study area. The dataset was generated by converting seismic event information from the Council for Geoscience into a continuous hazard raster surface, classifying the data into five hazard classes using natural breaks, and summarising the maximum hazard value within each municipal boundary. The resulting feature class enables planners, disaster management practitioners, and risk analysts to identify municipalities with elevated seismic hazard levels and incorporate these insights into multi\u2011hazard assessments and mitigation planning.<\/div>", "summary": "The purpose of this dataset is to provide a spatially standardised, municipality\u2011level representation of earthquake hazard intensity.
