The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 25 Metre Grid of Australia derived from LiDAR model represents a National 25 metre (bare earth) DEM which has been derived from some 236 individual LiDAR surveys between 2001 and 2015 covering an area in excess of 245,000 square kilometres. These surveys cover Australia's populated coastal zone; floodplain surveys within the Murray Darling Basin, and individual surveys of major and minor population centres. All available 1 metre resolution LiDAR-derived DEMs have been compiled and resampled to 25 metre resolution datasets for each survey area, and then merged into a single dataset for each State. These State datasets have also been merged into a 1 second resolution national dataset.

This dataset represents Queensland 5 metre DEM which has been derived from LiDAR and merged together from various projects and will be continually updated.

This dataset represents Tasmania 5 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) which has been derived from LiDAR and merged together from various projects and will be continually updated.

This service represents the National DEM 1 Second Smoothed product

This service represents a hill shade (ground surface topography) and excludes vegetation features which has been dervied from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The sun angle used is 315 degrees azimuth and 30 degrees altitude. It is intended for large scale use for low lying area feature identification. The processing method is decsribe in the 1 Second SRTM Derived Product User Guide (Geoscience Australia, 2011)

These State datasets have also been merged into a 1 second resolution national dataset. <p>The acquisition of the individual LiDAR surveys and derivation of the 5m product has been part of a long-term collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI), the Departments of Climate Change and Environment, State and Territory jurisdictions, Local Government and the Murray Darling Basin Authority under the auspices of the National Elevation Data Framework and Coastal and Urban DEM Program, with additional data supplied by the Australian Department of Defence. The source datasets have been captured to standards that are generally consistent with the Australian ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications with require a fundamental vertical accuracy of at least 0.30m (95% confidence) and horizontal accuracy of at least 0.80m (95% confidence).
