project: cep15a-2021-22_dtv_lidar_yea

This LiDAR survey was undertaken as part of a larger DTV LiDAR capture project in operation between 2022 and 2024. The DTV LiDAR Project comprises of almost 60 separate LiDAR survey blocks totaling over 60,000 square kilometres within Victoria. The project was managed by the Coordinated Imagery Program on behalf of the Digital Twin Victoria (DTV) program, a four-year $37.4 million State Government investment designed to fast track the adoption of new geospatial data and emerging technologies. When completed, the LiDAR capture project will have achieved coverage of over 99 percent of the population and 95 per cent of the buildings in the Victoria. The primary use of the data is the creation of a ‘bare earth’ digital elevation model (DEM) that will underpin the DTV geospatial data platform. Numerous other important secondary uses will also benefit from the data collected such as river health monitoring, vegetation analysis and heritage cultural mapping.
