Description
New South Wales elevation and depth data, including measurements of the Earth's surface above or below a vertical datum. Data is collected using sensors like laser, sonar, radar, and optical, and includes derived products such as spot heights, raster surfaces, contours, and digital elevation models. The dataset is provided by Spatial Services (DCS) and was last updated on 2026-04 09.
Use Cases
Terrain modeling and analysis based on spot heights and contours.
Flood risk and hydrological modeling based on digital elevation models.
Infrastructure and urban planning based on high-resolution 2m contours.
3D visualization and environmental analysis based on LiDAR and photogrammetric point clouds.
Strengths
Includes multiple data types: historical and current contours, spot heights, and point clouds.
Data is collected using a range of technical sensors and methodologies.
