Product description:Description This report outlines the methodology used by GHD to generate the 2011 version of the Latrobe Valley Coal Model; and describes the deliverables provided to DPI.The model is intended as a regional scale tool for supporting the management of the resource, matching coal to development opportunities and informing land use planning. It captures a century of coal delineation work in a powerful, flexible and contemporary format. 9086 bores have been modelled (an increase of 641 bores over the 2008 version) over a total area of 4,916 sqkm (Figure 2), including all Gippsland brown coal fields identified in DPI’s inventory of coal resources. Seams have been extended into the Seaspray Depression covering the Longford, Boodyarn, Won Wron, Greenmount, Alberton and Gelliondale coal fields; as well as into the Moe Swamp covering the Moe and Yarragon coal fields. Total coal quantities within the model area, including both coal (less than 10% ash) and inferior coal (10 to 30% ash), are summarised in Figure 1. These take no account of economic and other barriers to coal extraction. Critically, the model is based on a pre-mine topography and a substantial coal has already been extracted.
