South East Queensand (SEQ) 2009 LiDAR data was funded by Queensland Department of Environment and Resource management (DERM) , which was captured and delivered by AAMHatch between March 25th 2009 and June 9th 2009. The project area covering 5300 sqkm was divided into three sub areas, namely South East Queensland Priority Area, Gold Coast and the Balance of SEQ. Data acquisition and post-processing has been controlled to achieve a vertical accuracy witihn 0.15m (RMS, 68% CI) and horizontal accuracy within 0.45 m. Horizontal coordinates are based upon Map Grid of Australia (MGA) Zone 56 projection. Vertical coordinates are referenced to Australian Height Datum (AHD). The data was captured with point density of 2.5 points per square metre and the data is available as mass point files (ASCII, LAS) and ESRI GRID files with 1m grid spacing in 1km tiles and inundation contours (0.25m). A hydrologically conditioned and drainage enforced 2m DEM or HDEM has also been developed in 2010 as part of the Urban DEM project managed by the CRC for Spatial Information and Geoscience Australia. The HDEM was produced by SKM using the ANUDEM program. Hydrologic enforcement and conditioning has included the testing of data for sinks, the referencing of transport and hydrology vector layers for intersections and flow, and the use of high-resolution imagery for visual validation. The methodology for hydrologic enforcement has required deriving a stream network based on flow direction and accumulation, using TIN and ANUDEM processes to analyse sinks and artificial damming affects caused by objects such as roads, bridges and trees which have not been previously filtered. Break lines have been included via the insertion of culvert/drainage channels, which has been used to interpolate these features into the main DEM as descending grid values. All data are referenced to GDA94/MGA Zone 56.

The Adelaide 2009 LiDAR data was captured over the Adelaide coastal metropolitan area between 13th and 19th of September 2008. Some data were re-flown on the 5th of January 2009 due to instrument errors and data gaps. The data were acquired by AAMHatch (now AAMGroup), and purchased by the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency under licence for use by Commonwealth, State and Local Government organisations. The data was captured with a point density of 0.8 points per square metre. Overall vertical accuracy has been confirmed at <15cm (68% confidence level). The data are available as mass point files (LAS) comprising ground, thinned ground and non ground points in 2km tiles in addition to a gridded DEM and hydrologically enforced DEM or HDEM. The hydrologically conditioned and drainage enforced 2m DEM or HDEM was developed in 2010 as part of the Urban DEM project managed by the CRC for Spatial Information and Geoscience Australia. The HDEM was produced by SKM using the ANUDEM program. The HDEM ensures that primary stream/channel flow, and water flow across the land surface are accurately represented. The hydrologically enforced elevation model should be used for hydrological modelling.

The Kurnell 2008 LiDAR Survey was captured over Kurnell Peninsula (south of Sydney) on 8 December 2008. The source data was captured by AAM Hatch and funded by New South Wales, Department, Land & Property Management and made available under licence for use by Commonwealth, State and Local Commonwealth Government. The vertical accuracy is 0.15m at 1 sigma in open clear ground as specified in the project scope and 0.3m in the horizontal. All data are referenced to GDA94/MGA Zone 56 and AHD. The source data are available as mass points (ASCII XYZ, LAS) and Gridded 1m DEM tiles or 1m or 10m mosaic. A hydrologically enforced elevation model is available for this product, which should be used for any water modelling. Sydney Hydrological Enforced DEM (HDEM) 2007-2008 is a combination of this dataset and the 2007 & 2008 Sydney LiDAR datasets adn should be used for hyrological modelling.

These datasets cover approximately 1450 sq km along the eastern boundary of the Whitsunday Regional Council and are part of the 2009 North Queensland LiDAR capture project. This project, undertaken by Photomapping Services on behalf of the Queensland Government captured highly accurate elevation data using LiDAR technology. Available dataset formats (in 1 kilometre tiles) are: - Classified las (LiDAR Data Exchange Format where strikes are classified as ground, vegetation or building) - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ASCII xyz - 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape

At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. Each map covers a minimum area of 0.5 degrees longitude by 0.5 degrees latitude or about 54 kilometres by 54 kilometres. The contour interval is 20 metres. Many maps are supplemented by hill shading.

Longitudinal Cross Section

This series of maps covers the whole of Papua New Guinea at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150km from east to west and 110km from north to south. There are more than 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area some also include imagery and additional narrative information. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. Some maps are supplemented by relief shading. Coverage: Upon completion of revision the series will cover the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: From 1995 to 2007. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, (GDA94 compliant at this stage). Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic. Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

Geoscience Australia distributes a range of Antarctica maps and images at various scales and currency, on behalf of Australian Antarctic Division. These products are very diverse and include topographic maps and satellite images, ranging from landscape specific (1:1,000 scale) to regional (1:20,000,000) scale.

At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. Each map covers a minimum area of 0.5 degrees longitude by 0.5 degrees latitude or about 54 kilometres by 54 kilometres.
