Ipswich City 5-Metre Contour Lines from 2019 LiDAR Survey

Contours over the entire Ipswich City Council authority area at a 5-metre interval. The data was compiled from a 2019 Airborne Laser Scanning (LiDAR) project and is provided by the Ipswich City Council. The dataset was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Generate digital elevation models based on the 5-metre contour interval.
• Perform terrain analysis for flood risk modeling based on the LiDAR-derived contours.
• Support urban planning and infrastructure design based on the detailed topographic data.
• Create 3D visualizations of the landscape based on the high-resolution contour lines.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a 2019 Airborne Laser Scanning (LiDAR) project, a high-precision source.
• Contours are provided at a detailed 5-metre interval across the entire Ipswich City Council area.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and KML for interoperability.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single-city source area.
