City of Hobart General Built Environment Map

City of Hobart's map integrates stormwater infrastructure, road formations, building footprints, and 2-meter contours compiled from multiple high-detail sources. The dataset originates from digitized 1:500 survey sheets, field surveys, and aerial photography collected over several years.
