Geelong Lidar Contours at 5-Meter Intervals

5-meter contour lines derived from Lidar data cover the City of Greater Geelong. The dataset is provided by the City of Greater Geelong under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last recorded update in April 2026. Geographic coordinates are based on the GCS_WGS_1984 system.

Use Cases

• Modeling terrain elevation for flood risk analysis based on the 5-meter contour intervals.
• Creating 3D visualizations of the urban landscape based on Lidar-derived contours.
• Supporting civil engineering projects requiring precise elevation data for the Geelong area.
• Integrating with other geospatial datasets for regional environmental planning.

Strengths

• Contour lines are derived from Lidar, a high-resolution remote sensing method.
• The data uses the standardized GCS_WGS_1984 geographic coordinate system.
• It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON, SHP, WMS, and WFS.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
