Title: Coastal Surveys
Custodian: Department of Land and Water Conservation (DLWC)
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
Photogrammetric, geodimeter and hydro surveys of the NSW coastline collected between 1940's and present by the NSW Public Works. Data includes analyses of historical vertical aerial photography to determine past shoreline behaviour, ground contour surveys of shore-normal profiles and bathymetric surveys and sediment mapping of the seabed within about 10 kilometres of the shoreline. Ongoing capture and recapture to various scales. Data set is stand alone with high spatial accuracy and resolution of X, Y and Z components. Overall data quality varies from good to excellent. Data covers the shoreline of NSW and includes the sea bed to about 10 kilometres from the shoreline and the inland beach zone. Data focuses on active shoreline zones.
