Getting the LiDAR data

If you are a member of Orienteering ACT then you can access LiDAR data through that association. You’ll need to mention the names of the LiDAR tiles you require.

If you are a resident of the ACT, then you can access LiDAR data via the ACT Government directorate that provides the ACTmapi tool.

Otherwise, there’s nothing I can do to help.

The LiDAR data will be presented as some large files. Mine were like this:
