New Zealand Elevation
This dataset offers New Zealand's publicly owned digital elevation and surface models, freely available under an open license. It includes 1m resolution grids derived from LiDAR data, provided as Cloud Optimised GeoTIFFs (COGs) with LERC compression. Each elevation file is accompanied by STAC metadata, organized by region and survey, and regularly updated as new data is published.
The New Zealand Elevation dataset provides access to publicly owned digital elevation models (DEMs) and digital surface models (DSMs) across New Zealand. These high-resolution grids, derived from LiDAR data, are made freely available under an open license, making them a valuable resource for various geospatial applications. The dataset is managed by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
The elevation files are delivered as Cloud Optimised GeoTIFFs (COGs), utilizing LERC compression for efficient storage and access. Each file also includes accompanying STAC metadata, ensuring discoverability and interoperability within the geospatial ecosystem. The data is structured by region and survey, facilitating organized access and use.
New elevation data is regularly added to the collection, aligning with publications to the LINZ Data Service and LINZ Basemaps. While the copyright for all data may vary by licensor (details in STAC Collection files), the dataset is generally licensed for re-use under CC-BY-4.0. Documentation and usage examples, including browsing the S3 bucket, are available on GitHub, and direct contact can be made via email for inquiries.
