Title: NEW SOUTH WALES DTDB LANDFORM THEME 5M DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL

Custodian: Department of Information Technology and Management (LPI)

Jurisdiction: New South Wales


Description

Abstract:

These are high resolution 5 metre Digital Terrain Model spatial partitions generated from the Land Information Centres Large Scale Contour Archive. The partitions are 9 kilometers by 7.5 kilometres and align to the ISG 1:10000 zone coverage of New South Wales. This theme contains DTM's created from existing 2 metre contours sourced from the 1:4000 Orthophoto Map Series of the NSW topographic map archive .

Data quality

Lineage:

Topographic 3 dimensional 5 metre grid data derived from contour and drainage data sourced from the New South Wales Topographic Large Scale Map Archive (pre 1995). Predominantly 2 metre contours used as source data.

Positional accuracy:

Initial digital contour collection is within 0.2mm of map transparencies at scales of 1:4000. Vertical accuracy of a DTM is to within 0.5 of the source document contour interval.

Attribute accuracy:

NA

Logical consistency:

Data partitions are edge matched to adjoining partitions where applicable.

Completeness:

Current data availability is restricted to partial coverage of the Eastern zone of New South Wales. As data update proceeds, overall coverage will increase.
