Surveying support documents

Geoscience Australia and the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) established and released the new Geocentric Datum of Australia 2020 (GDA2020) to address tectonic plate shifts since the last update in the mid 1990's.
Updates to Transport and Main Road's spatial data and systems are currently underway and a full adoption of GDA2020 is currently scheduled to be completed by late 2021.
For more information and the department's transition to GDA2020 contact the project team via email at [email protected].

 

Mobile Laser Scanning

Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) technical guidelines aim to bring consistent terminology, understanding and methods to the MLS capture process.

MLS technical guideline

The MLS technical guideline checklist is an integral accompaniment to the guidelines and forms part of all project proposals. It states technical aspects required by the department and also provides the Offerer the opportunity to detail their method.
