Background and Aims
Information on the spatial distribution and extent of erosion and landslides is a critical part in understanding these processes within the CCMA. Similarly additional information on the rate at which these potential hazards occur is also critical in assessing the significance of such processes. However, information on the nature and severity of the impact that these hazards cause and the significance of the assets which are impacted, is also equally important.
The current 2006/2007 program for the Corangamite Soil Health Strategy (CSHS) recognised the need for such information and a series of case studies were commissioned to provide specific data on the nature, extent and impact of erosion and landslides at various important locations throughout the CCMA region.
The aim of the case studies was to provide more detailed information on the extent of the hazard, how it was initially assessed and what remedial actions were either undertaken or proposed. In addition the case studies review what assets were effected, how severe the impact was and what consequences and financial costs were associated with effected assets.

Selection of Sites and Discussion
Sites were chosen to correspond with locations and sites established as priority target areas during the early stages of the 2006/2007 CSHS program. Sites containing important assets and known incidences of landslide and erosion were initially short listed.
A series of site inspections and, where possible, interviews with land owners were then carried out to obtain information about both the hazard and the impact on the assets effected. Whilst some sites were not able to be completed due to insufficient information being available from the major stakeholder, valuable information was assembled for a number of sites.

Application for Intended Use
The purpose of these case studies is to interpret the location and extent of erosion and/or landslides and to document impact to significant assets. While all care has been taken to record data as accurately as possible, the data custodians do not guarantee that the data is accurate, up to date, complete or suitable for any purpose. The data custodians disclaim all other liability for all loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by any person as a result of relying on the data.
