Fences made from old metal bed heads enclosing the space of Gap Filler's "Film in the Gap" project in Beckenham. The audience are seated on folding chairs, garden swing seats and an antique bed as they watch Lyttelton band, Runaround Sue, perform. In the background, a yellow porta-loo provides sanitary facilities for the audience.

A photograph of three drawings stuck to a bus timetable in the Christchurch central city. The drawings depict Roger Sutton, the CEO of CERA, with a band-aid over his mouth; Warwick Isaacs, the Deputy Chief Executive of CERA, with hearing protection over his ears; and Gerry Brownlee, Minister for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery, with a blindfold over his eyes.

Lyttelton band, Runaround Sue, performing at Gap Filler's "Film in the Gap!" project in Beckenham. Gap Filler have enclosed one side of the site with a fence made of old metal bed heads. The fence has been decorated with fairy lights. Other decorations to the project sight includes the brightly coloured bunting above the audience, which is attached to the wall of Beckenham's Mitre 10.

A video of Adam McGrath, Jess Shanks and Alice Ryan Williams from Lyttelton band The Eastern singing songs to people in the community. The song recipients were nominated by family, friends or workmates, and in total seven people were chosen, including a teacher, office worker and traffic controller. The video and event were organised by All Right?. The video was distributed by The Press and was posted to the All Right? Facebook Timeline in October 2014.

An aerial photograph of the Copthorne Hotel on Colombo Street. The photograph has been captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "When the PricewaterhouseCoopers building is demolished, the Copthorne Central Hotel will be alone on the block. Oxford on the Avon and Plunket House are also gone from Oxford Terrace, and on the other side of the river is the demolition site of the PGC building where 18 people died".

Our poster will present on-going QuakeCoRE-founded work on strong motion seismology for Dunedin-Mosgiel area, focusing on ground motion simulations for Dunedin Central Business District (CBD). Source modelling and ground motion simulations are being carried out using the SCEC (Southern California Earthquakes Center) Broad Band simulation Platform (BBP). The platform computes broadband (0-10 Hz) seismograms for earthquakes and was first implemented at the University of Otago in 2016. As large earthquakes has not been experienced in Dunedin in the time of period of instrumental recording, user-specified scenario simulations are of great value. The Akatore Fault, the most active fault in Otago and closest major fault to Dunedin, is the source focused on in the present study. Simulations for various Akatore Fault source scenarios are run and presented. Path and site effects are key components considered in the simulation process. A 1D shear wave velocity profile is required by SCEC BBP, and this is being generated to represent the Akatore-to-CBD path and site within the BBP. A 3D shear velocity model, with high resolution within Dunedin CBD, is being developed in parallel with this study (see Sangster et al. poster). This model will be the basis for developing a 3D shear wave velocity model for greater Dunedin-Mosgiel area for future ground motion simulations, using Canterbury software (currently under development).
