A Digital Elevation Model aerial view over Wangaratta, displaying topography through colour. The lowest points are shaded in deep blues, through shades of green and yellow, with red to represent the highest points.

- 1 m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) over Wangaratta.

An aerial view over Wangaratta with key street names displayed over the map in text.

- LiDAR point cloud symbolised by return intensity over Wangaratta.

An aerial digital surface model over Wangaratta, with colours used to represent the height of topography, tree coverage and structures. The lowest points are shaded in deep blue, through greens and yellows to shades of red for the highest points.

- 1 m Digital Surface Model (DSM) over Wangaratta.

An aerial view model over Wangaratta showing heights of ground surface, structures and tree coverage with colour to represent heights. The lowest points are shaded in deep blue, with higher points shaded in greens.

- 1 m Canopy Height Model (CHM) over Wangaratta.

This project covers 18 Victorian regional townships and includes Ararat, Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Echuca, Horsham, Kilmore, Latrobe Valley Corridor (Drouin, Warragul, Trafalgar, Moe), Mildura, Sale, Seymour, Shepparton, Swan Hill, Traralgon, Wangaratta, Warracknabeal and Wonthaggi.

This project investigated the feasibility of extending the state's Vicmap datasets into 3D and 4D. The LiDAR captured in this project supported the generation of 3D photo mesh and building object models for a subset of the 18 townships. Complete LiDAR, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), imagery and 3D models are open data and available through the links below.

3D Models, imagery (ECW/JPG) and DEM (Esri Ascii) can be accessed via this form.

3D Models and photo mesh can be accessed via this form.
