Waikato councils have a longstanding history of geospatial data collaboration. Below are some of our projects.
Councils have collectively purchased aerial imagery since 2002, and in 2015 Co-Lab supported the digitisation of historical aerial photos of the region.
Co-Lab has led the acquisition of Waikato’s first ever complete regional LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data set. This provides accurate earth surface data that will be used for 3D maps and models of the region’s landscape.
The Waikato Open Data Hub brings together datasets and maps that were previously hosted on separate websites (the Waikato Data Portal and Waikato OneView), now all in one place.
