Abstract
A northwest-trending zone of intraplate seismicity extends for around 500 km across the southwestern part<br>of Western Australia. The zone, called the Southwest Seismic Zone (SWSZ) by Doyle (1971), is the main<br>contributor to seismic hazard in the region, including the city of Perth (population approximately 1 million)<br>located some 100 km to the west.
