The photography is captured for Local and State Governments for use as a general GIS backdrop and to support topographic features maintenance.

The West Gippsland LiDAR Project is a DSE project with dual program partners. The EcoMarkets program is interested in using LiDAR based data for investigating various landscape values on freehold land with particular focus on remnant vegetation structure. The current EcoMarkets areas of interest are the Strezlecki Ranges and Gippsland Plains Bio Regions in the West Gippsland CMA. For its part, Spatial Information Infrastructure (SII) is aiming to fill coverage gaps in between existing LiDAR data sets to extend DSEs high accuracy Vicmap DTM. Bringing both requirements together, an area of approximately 1000km2 of almost contiguous land area largely bounded by previous LiDAR projects in the Gippsland Region has been identified. The coverage required has been divided into 4 priority sub-areas.

This dataset is a simplified and generalised version of the NV2005_EXTENT dataset. The parameters of the simplification and generalisation have been set to produce a a product suitable for mapping at scales between 1:400000 and 1:2000000

This is a single image created by resampling TM10095 and projecting it into VICMAP. The resampled pixel size is 90 metres. Processing of this dataset included the use of the ERIM image restoration algorithm giving a much sharper image than achieved with previous datasets.

Captured as part of the 2009-10 CIP, this 15cm orthorectified imagery covers the City of Bendigo and townships of Axedale, Elmore, Goornong, Heathcote, Lockwood South, Marong, Miamia, Neilborough, Ravenswood, Raywood, Redesdale, and Sebastian.

Captured as part of the CIP 2009-10 Surf Coast Towns Project, this 12cm imagery covers the Surf Coast Towns of Aireys Inlet, Torquay, Jan Juc plus Anglesea Landfill site, & Gherang Gravel Pits for the purposes of Surf Coast Shire Council asset and environmental management and urban growth monitoring

Water Frontages are a subset of the VMPROP.V_PARCEL_MP_CROWN_APPROVED dataset. From the LIMS database, water frontage licences were selected and the associated parcels were selected on the SPI number or the P Number. The parcels selected were compared to the list of streams reserved under the 1881 reservation of water frontages for public purposes. A majority of streams were identified. Some stream beds and banks have not yet been parcelised, so any unidentified parcels were selected which aligned with the hydrology layer and had an irregular shape and were added to the layer. The VicMap hydrology layer was used to label water frontages.

LiDAR coverage has been acquired for areas of Maroondah State Park (SP) and Bunyip SP which are within in the Melbourne Water Management area, and Kilmore, Broadford and surrounding area. The data was captured in order to provide DEM and contour information to be used in fire risk asessment. The project was captured at two accuracies: Maroondah SP and Bunyip SP +/- 15cm vertical accuracy, +/- 30cm horizontal accuracy and Kilmore/Broadford and the surrounding area is +/- 10cm vertical accuracy, +/- 20cm horizontal accuracy Products: DEM, Contours, ICSM Classification Level 2 LAS 1.2 LiDAR Point Cloud, XYZi Keywords: Elevation, Height

The DSE Natural Resources Division seeks to establish an ongoing land cover mapping program to improve knowledge of land and biodiversity assets across the state. This program will contribute directly towards monitoring and reporting on progress towards State Wide Natural Resource Management outcomes and will improve the States ability to demonstrate the impact of policy, strategy and investment. The imagery will be manually interpreted and mapped for land cover types and stratified in a manner to facilitate targeted analysis of land cover. The 2009-10 CIP Vic Land Cover Photo Project will capture and provide photography for areas not covered by the 2008-9 CIP photography projects.

The Strzelecki Ranges area was captured by Photomapping Services using a Optech Gemini LiDAR system (Airborne Laser Scanning) between the 11th and 23rd of October 2009. The data was captured in order to provide bare earth DTM and contours.
