NZ transforms planning with 3D mapping

Wellington, Mar 28 (UNI) New Zealand has been extensively mapped in 3D, offering a powerful tool for economic planning, land management, and risk assessment, senior officials said on Friday.
"With 80 percent of New Zealand now mapped, we can analyze most of the country at once, rather than taking a fragmented region-by-region approach," said Land Information Minister Chris Penk.
Captured via aircraft fitted with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, the data offers precise, meter-level accuracy, helping track natural and manmade changes, from erosion and shifting rivers to new developments, Penk said, adding this has enormous value for decision-making, planning, and modelling.
