SDE Elevation Database (SELEVATION)  


Authors / CoAuthors

Abstract

The SDE Elevation Database (SELEVATION) is a subset of the former SDE Best Available Geographic Database (SBAGD). SELEVATION contains only the elevation feature datasets and feature classes such as relief, contours and survey marks. SBAGD is a historic database comprising the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 data and any updates that were made from 2008-2013. This vector data represents major topographic features and has been sourced through many programs such as the National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI). The topographic data complies with the Topographic Data and Map Specifications for the National Topographic Database & NTMS Series 1:250 000 & 1:100 000 scale topographic map products version 6.0. To use this dataset please contact the Spatial Platforms team (eGIS), spatialplatforms@ga.gov.au, and obtain an SDE login for use within your selected GIS software.

Lineage

The SDE Elevation Database (SELEVATION) is a subset of the former SDE Best Available Geographic Database (SBAGD). SELEVATION contains only the elevation feature datasets and feature classes such as relief, contours and survey marks. SBAGD is a historic database comprising the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 data and any updates that were made from 2008-2013. This vector data represents major topographic features and has been sourced through many programs such as the National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI). The topographic data complies with the Topographic Data and Map Specifications for the National Topographic Database & NTMS Series 1:250 000 & 1:100 000 scale topographic map products version 6.0. The National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI) program was a joint mapping project with all States and Territories from 2005 to 2011.The NTICI program was used to update the currency and accuracy of buildings, roads and other infrastructure to support emergency management use. In February 2023 gaps were reported in the national coverage of Spot Elevations. These gaps matched 1:100k mapsheets, West MacDonnell National Park x2, Proserpine, Calen, Cumberland Islands, Mirani, Mackey, Murwillumbah Special, Beenleigh, Mount Lindesay, Bundaberg, Rosedale, Mount Perry, Childers. Gayndah, Biggenden, Pialba, The reason for the gaps is unknown and can only be speculated. Spot Elevations were taken from GEODATA SERIES 1 to fill the gaps. There were some pre-existing features in Beenleigh, Mount Lindesay and Murwillumbah Special, these were retained.
