Overview
The Vicmap Elevation 1m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a mosaic product that delivers the best available 1m DEM data for Victoria through spatial web services.
The spatial web services include terrain, relief, hill shade and footprints.
The data used in the 1m DEM draws from the state's archive of ground surface model datasets known as the Vicmap LiDAR DEMs Collection.
Only datasets meeting 1m resolution and +/- 10cm RMSE vertical accuracy standards are included in the Vicmap 1m DEM.
