Collection of Geoscience Australia's high-resolution elevation surveys collected using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and other instrument systems. <b>Value: </b>Describes Australia's landforms and seabed is crucial for addressing issues relating to the impacts of climate change, disaster management, water security, environmental management, urban planning and infrastructure design. <b>Scope: </b>Selected areas of interest around Australia.

High resolution elevation data covering an area of approximately 12,600 sq km in the Wakool-Murray catchment area. The survey is situated along the Victoria and NSW border, located between Yarrawong, Echuca, Robinvale and Moulamein and Deniliquin. A set of products were produced including classified lidar point clouds, hydro-flattened bare earth DEMs, DSMs, Canopy Height Models (CHM) and Foliage Cover Models (FCM). The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.

The Macquarie Barwon LiDAR survey provides elevation and photographic data over approximately 17,326 km² along the Macquarie and Barwon Rivers, north-west of Dubbo NSW. The LiDAR was captured between November 2013 and May 2014, at a nominal density of two outgoing laser pulses per square metre. Photography was captured simultaneously and provided as an ortho-rectified mosaic with a resolution of 20cm. The LiDAR was delivered in a full waveform format that retains a higher level of precision and significantly more above ground information than traditional LiDAR. A set of seamless products, including hydro-flattened bare earth terrain surfaces (DEMs), were produced to the ICSM specification. Other derived surfaces include a Digital Surface Model (DSM), Canopy Height Model (CHM) and Foliage Canopy Model (FCM). The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.

These datasets cover approximately 3360 sq km of coastal areas of Northern and South-eastern Tasmania. The project covered three areas: - Greater Hobart 1283 square km - Huon Valley 460 square km - Launceston, Burnie, Devonport 1612 square km This project, undertaken by RPS Mapping on behalf of Geoscience Australia produced accurate LiDAR and derived products to ICSM specifications and medium format digital ortho-photo mosaics.

AAM was commissioned by the Department of Primary Industries, Water &amp; Environment to conduct an airborne LiDAR survey over 2 regions known as Coal Mines and Port Arthur. The project area comprises approximately 5.7km². The area was acquired on 14th March 2014.

This document details the methods and results of the project Adelaide LiDAR Classification and Derived Products¿ performed by RPS for Geoscience Australia in 2013. Lineage and Accuracy Statements for ANZLIC metadata documents for each of the project deliverables are included. Airborne LiDAR data was acquired over Adelaide in September 2008 and North Adelaide in September 2011. Differences in the level of classification reduced the ability to integrate the data into an accurate, seamless and consistent coastal DEM suitable for detailed modelling the potential impacts of coastal inundation or riverine flooding. The objective of this project was to reclassify both the 2008 and 2011 point clouds to ICSM Level 3 and derive hydro flattened 1m bare earth DEMs and; 0.25m cartographic contours, all inline with the ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications. Figure 1. Adelaide LiDAR Reclassification 2012 overview map The LiDAR The LiDAR was provided as tiled LAS files. RPS did not apply any vertical or horizontal adjustments to the LiDAR and is unable to comment on the spatial accuracy of the point cloud. The deliverables were: Classified ICSM Level 2 and Level 3 point clouds in LAS format 1 metre DEMs in ESRI Binary grid format 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape format Break lines in ESRI Shape format. This report All files were named according to the ICSM file naming specifications.

Aerometrex - Adelaide was contracted by Department for Environment and Heritage to capture data along the Murray River from Lock 1 to Wellington

North Adelaide Lidar

The Edward River LiDAR survey provides elevation and photographic data over a 1200 km² along the Edward River, north of Swan Hill. The LiDAR was captured in November and December 2013, at a nominal density of two outgoing laser pulses per square metre. Photography was captured simultaneously and provided as an ortho-rectified mosaic with a resolution of 20cm. The LiDAR was delivered in a full waveform format that retains a higher level of precision and significantly more above ground information than traditional LiDAR. A set of seamless products, including hydro-flattened bare earth terrain surfaces (DEMs), were produced to the ICSM specification. Other derived surfaces include a Digital Surface Model (DSM), Canopy Height Model (CHM) and Foliage Canopy Model (FCM). The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.

AAM Pty Ltd was commissioned by NSW Government's Office of Environment &amp; Heritage to conducted an airborne LiDAR and Imagery survey over sections of the Gwydir Valley Floodplain west of Moree in north west NSW to assist with the development of Valley Wide Floodplain Management Plains under the Healthy Floodplain program. There has already been some LiDAR acquisition and this data will supplement this information. Collection of both LiDAR and simultaneous imagery utilizing the Optech ALTM Pegasus LiDAR sensor and DiMAC Ultralight medium format digital camera occurred from 31 May 2013 until 19 June 2013 (total of 7 separate flights). The primary use of the LIDAR data will be to provide topographical information necessary to define flood behaviour and undertake hydraulic modeling of floods in the area. Data is to be provided to LPI Classification 3 This project report provides specific information on: Project Details; Project Plan; Pre-Survey Quality Assurance Plan; Post-Survey Spatial Accuracy Report; Unforeseen/Extra-ordinary circumstances faced; Project Deliverable details; Statement of compliance; Control Reporting; Metadata documentation; Further project requirements.
