ACT and Queanbeyan LiDAR Point Cloud Data, 2015

LiDAR data covering the Australian Capital Territory and Queanbeyan, collected in 2015. The dataset has a point density of 8 points per square meter in city centers and 4 points per square meter elsewhere, with a subset of full waveform data over Black Mountain. It is classified to Level 3 and delivered in LAS 1.4 format by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue.

Use Cases

• Coastal vulnerability assessment based on detailed elevation data
• Natural resource management for water and forests using terrain models
• Transportation planning based on high-resolution topography
• Urban planning analysis based on classified point cloud data

Strengths

• Point density of 8 per square meter in city centers and 4 per square meter elsewhere
• Includes a subset of full waveform LiDAR data over Black Mountain
• Data is classified to Level 3 and delivered in LAS 1.4 format

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au
