Vicmap Elevation DEM 10m: A Raster Model of Victoria's Terrain

Vicmap Elevation DEM 10m is a raster representation of Victoria's elevation with a 10-meter spatial resolution. The product is constructed from multiple source datasets and has been hydrologically enforced to correctly define natural surface drainage. It was quality assured by the Victorian State Government and third-party consultants and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Terrain analysis and slope calculation based on the 10-meter resolution elevation data.
• Hydrological modeling and watershed delineation based on the hydrologically enforced drainage features.
• Landscape visualization and 3D rendering based on the raster elevation model.
• Infrastructure planning and flood risk assessment based on the vertical accuracy of 5 meters or better.

Strengths

• Spatial resolution of 10 meters with specified horizontal (12.5m) and vertical (5m) accuracy.
• Hydrologically enforced to correctly define natural surface drainage and flow.
• Quality assured by the Victorian State Government and additional third-party consultants.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
