Three different views displayed on a screen showing a colourised point-cloud from three different angles. A window along the bottom of the screen shows a horizontal cut-through of a hillside, the window to the right shows an aerial view of the same area, and the main window in the top right looks diagonally down across a cross section of the point-cloud, showing rural structures, trees and greenery.

The Axedale-Moe and Golden Plains LiDAR survey was designed to support Geological Survey Victoria (GSV) operational requirements to improve prospecting for extractive materials. The impetus for this work was to support demand from the construction industry for major projects across Victoria.

The project surveyed more than 11,000 km2 within three areas located to the east of Bendigo (3,237 m2), within the Latrobe Valley (2,004 m2) and the Golden Plains region between Ballarat and Geelong (5,996 m2) and helped inform the Victorian Government’s Extractive Resources Strategy.
