The Victorian Earthquake Hazard Map provides a Victorian focussed earthquake hazard estimation tool that offers an alternative to the nationally focussed 2012 Australian Earthquake Hazard Map \cite{burbidge20122012}. The major difference between the two maps is the inclusion of active fault location and slip estimates in the VEHM.   A significant difference in hazard estimation exists between the two maps even without including fault-related seismicity, which is primarily due to a number of differences in seismicity-analysis described in the Discussion section of this report, again resulting in a higher fidelity result in the VEHM. These differences make the VEHMis  a more conservative hazard model. The Victorian Earthquake Hazard Map currently exists as a series of online layers (http://vicquakehazmap.org/) and resources to help assist those in engineering, planning, disaster management. This is a dynamic dataset and the inputs will continue to be refined as new constraints are included and the map is made compatible with the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) software, due for release in late 2014.
