This layer contains the DEM for LiDAR data from the Auckland region captured in 2013.
The DSM is available as layer Auckland Lidar 1m DSM (2013). The index tiles are available as layer Auckland Lidar Index Tiles (2013). The LAS point cloud and vendor project reports are available from OpenTopography.

Lidar was captured for Auckland Council by NZ Aerial Mapping & Aerial Surveying Limited. The capture of the data commenced on 17th July and was completed by the 23 November 2013. The datasets were generated by both ASL and NZAM. All raw point cloud data was produced by NZAM & ASL prior to data being sent to Genesys International for the data classification and product generation. The survey area includes the Auckland city urban area and adjacent rural land covering approximately 2250 square kilometers. Data management and distribution external to Auckland Council is managed by Land Information New Zealand.
