Queensland Elevation Contours from LiDAR and Photogrammetry

A cartographic series representing Queensland's elevation features. The data was compiled from sources including LiDAR, historical photogrammetry, and SRTM, and features are attributed with source information. It was last updated on May 4, 2026, by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development.

Use Cases

• Generate topographic maps based on elevation contours.
• Model terrain for hydrological analysis based on elevation features.
• Create 3D visualizations of landscapes based on LiDAR-derived data.
• Assess landform changes over time based on historical photogrammetry sources.

Strengths

• Features include source attribution and source data where available.
• Compiled from multiple high-resolution sources including LiDAR and photogrammetry.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GPKG, and FGDB.

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 the compilation sources.
