Landgate LiDAR Acquisition Index for Western Australia Since 2017

Landgate's LiDAR repository index details the availability and extent of aerial laser scanning data collected across Western Australia since 2017. The index specifies acquisition areas, dates, and point densities measured in Points Per Square Metre (PPM), but does not contain the actual LiDAR point clouds or derivative datasets.

Use Cases

• Identify available LiDAR survey areas and their PPM resolution for planning 3D mapping projects in Western Australia.
• Analyze the temporal and spatial coverage of Landgate's LiDAR acquisitions since 2017 to assess data gaps.
• Use the index to locate specific Capture WA funded LiDAR datasets before requesting access via the Location Information Transactional Form.

Strengths

• Index covers LiDAR acquisitions funded by the Capture WA program since 2017.
• Data resolution is explicitly quantified using the PPM (Points Per Square Metre) metric.

Limitations

• This is only a metadata index; the actual LiDAR point cloud data cannot be accessed or downloaded from this source.
• Data availability is restricted to specific areas of Western Australia and is not a complete statewide coverage.
