ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications and Tender Template Version 1.0

Digital elevation data which describes Australia's landforms and seabed is crucial for addressing issues relating to the impacts of climate change, disaster management, water security, environmental management, urban planning and infrastructure design. In recent years dramatic developments in LiDAR technology and industry capabilities have revolutionised our ability to address these issues at the local level. However, inconsistent and diverse product specifications, and variable data quality are often making it difficult to integrate datasets to address regional, state and national issues. In order to optimise investment and the utility of both existing and future data collections there is a need for a national base specification which defines a consistent set of minimum products which ensure compatibility across projects and States.
