2008 National Elevation Data Audit for Australia's Landform and Seabed

A 2008 report outlines all elevation data available across Australian jurisdictions. The audit was identified by the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping's Permanent Committee on Topographic Information. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Catalog available elevation datasets for Australia based on the jurisdictional audit.
• Identify gaps in national topographic and seabed mapping coverage based on the audit findings.
• Support intergovernmental coordination on surveying and mapping based on the report's framework.

Strengths

• Report is structured by the national Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping.
• Covers all Australian jurisdictions, suggesting a broad jurisdictional scope.

Limitations

• Data is presented as a PDF/HTML report, not as structured, machine-readable data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the report.
• Freshness should be verified; the last updated date is 2026-04-10, which is a future date.
