About our LiDAR dataset
Landgate’s LiDAR repository comprises of acquisitions since 2017, captured over specific areas of the state in support of various state-based initiatives.
Because these data acquisitions are made on behalf of other state government agencies, specifications such as feature classifications and point cloud densities will vary from project to project.
Landgate’s repository consists of topographic LiDAR only. (ie. Landgate does not hold any bathymetric LiDAR).
In some instances, derived Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) or contours may also be available.
Landgate’s LiDAR data can be used in:
- Land management (rehabilitation, benchmarking, erosion)
- Hazard management (landslides, earthquakes, floods, fires)
- Examining both natural and manmade environments
- Forestry (deforestation) and agriculture management
- Mining
- Creating digital twins
- Asset management (eg infrastructure corridor)
- Creating hi-resolution DEMs
Coverage
An indicative extent is shown below.
Supply format
LiDAR data is supplied in LAS (LASer) format. It is an open, binary format and regarded as the industry standard.

Digital data extracts are subject to extraction and data costs. The extraction cost is $202.40 per hour, with a 1.5 hour minimum ($303.60). LiDAR extraction costs can vary based on factors such as extent and complexity. These will be supplied at the time of the quote.
Where a value-added derivative (eg DEMs) does not exist over your specific area of interest, a processing charge will apply if required.
