LiDAR Imagery Index for Western Australian Environmental Regulation

A geospatial index illustrating the extents of LiDAR imagery and data for the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Each area is represented by a polygon with attributes detailing coverage, status, and availability. The data is compiled and maintained by the department's Geospatial and Data Services Manager.

Use Cases

• Map planned and existing LiDAR data coverage using the polygon extents and status attributes.
• Identify data sources by analyzing the contractor and file location attributes for specific areas.
• Assess metadata availability across different project areas to prioritize data acquisition or integration.

Strengths

• Managed by the authoritative Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
• Polygon features include attributes for status, contractor, and file location.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, SHP, and Geopackage.

Limitations

• Row count, column count, and spatial accuracy details are not provided.
• Access to some custodial datasets may require purchase and direct contact with the department.
• The description notes varying degrees of accuracy and coverage across the included datasets.
