Hawke's Bay LiDAR Index Tiles (2020-2021)

This layer contains the index tiles for LiDAR data in the Hawke's Bay region and includes Napier, Hastings, Wairoa, Waipawa, Waipukurau and Māhia, captured between 2020 and 2021.

• The DEM is available as layer Hawke's Bay LiDAR 1m DEM (2020-2021)

• The DSM is available as layer Hawke's Bay LiDAR 1m DSM (2020-2021)

• The LAS point cloud and vendor project reports are available from OpenTopography

LiDAR was captured for the 5 Hawke’s Bay Councils (Wairoa District Council, Hastings District Council, Napier City Council, Central Hawke’s Bay District Council and Hawke’s Bay Regional Council) by Ocean Infinity from 11 November 2020 to 24 January 2021. The project was managed by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council. The dataset was generated by Ocean Infinity and their subcontractors. Data management and distribution is by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand.
