Even though the Australian continent sits within a major tectonic plate, it is affected by earthquakes. Each year, more than 100 earthquakes measuring 3.0 or more on the Richter scale are felt across Australia, with the majority affecting Western Australia—more than X since 1900. Many of these earthquakes are focused around York. Despite the prevalence of earthquakes in the region, the risks have not consistently been recognised during building design and construction. This means many buildings - particularly older masonry buildings - are susceptible to damage from earthquakes.
