Purpose: The purpose of this layer is to show the LiDAR extent for areas where WRC holds LIDAR data or areas which LiDAR data may be available. It should be noted that only portions of the region are covered by LiDAR Data. Updates may be done in the future as required or when new LiDAR surveys are complete (such as the PGF 2021 LiDAR).LiDAR extent is captured from the following projects:

• LIDAR - Lake Waikare (2003) • LIDAR - Lake Taupo Foreshore (2006) • LIDAR – 2007/2008 • LIDAR - Taupo (2009) • LIDAR – 2010/2011 - Northern Waikato and Raglan Harbour • LiDAR - Mount Tongariro Eruption (2012) • LiDAR - 2012/2013 - Coromandel • LiDAR - Hipaua Thermal Area (2014) • LIDAR - MPI East Taupo (2014) • LiDAR - 2014/2015 • LiDAR - 2016 • LIDAR - Taupo (2016) • LiDAR - 2018• LiDAR - 2021 - Regional PGF

Projection and Co-ordinates: NZTM. Positional Accuracy: The LiDAR extents were created for the various Waikato Region LiDAR surveys and are indicative only. WRC Metadata: See metadata for LIDAR_REGIONAL_EXTENT in LiDAR Regional Extents and Coverage DatasetPublic Data Availability: WRC LiDAR Data - Download from the CoLAB Waikato Data Portal (arcgis.com) using Waikato Regional Council Large File Download Application | Waikato LASS Data Portal (arcgis.com)PGF 2021 LiDAR Data is being processed in Blocks and will be made available on LINZ Data Service (DEM, DSM) and Open Topography (LAS - Point Cloud) as it is finalised. Finalised data is available:Waikato LiDAR 1m DEM (2021) - LINZ Data ServiceWaikato LiDAR 1m DSM (2021) - LINZ Data ServicePoint Cloud - Waikato, New Zealand 2021 - OpenTopographyLINZ LiDAR User Guides & PGF LiDAR Waikato Block extents: See Elevation Aotearoa (arcgis.com) from Elevation data | Toitū Te Whenua - Land Information New Zealand (linz.govt.nz)
