After the Newcastle earthquake in 1989, which caused significant damage and loss of life, the Australian government implemented several measures to improve building safety and disaster preparedness. This included updating building codes to ensure structures were better designed to withstand seismic activity, conducting comprehensive geological assessments, and enhancing emergency response plans. Additionally, public education campaigns were launched to raise awareness about earthquake risks and safety measures. These actions aimed to mitigate the impact of future earthquakes in the region.
Thirteen people died during this earthquake and around 160 were injured.

economic impacts were $5.2 billion
In a severe earthquake, a seismically safe building built under the "cost-effective" clause may not collapse and kill or injure its inhabitants, but it may be so badly damaged that it must be demolished. At least, that's what FEMA training says.
