Yes I have DSE/CALP contacts.<br>
<br>
Although data can be extracted from land.vic.gov.au under data supply
agreements, these contracts do not extend to third parties. I would
need to get special permission to allow a dataset to be downloaded by
whomever would visit my website. I could put up a special case to the
right people but wanted to exhaust using available datasets already
able to be downloaded. As it is, it appears most of what exists on the
web is broad scale and I need much finer resolution.<br>
<br>
I wait to see if anyone else responds to my post. If nothing turns up
in a couple of days I approach some people within land.vic.gov.au.<br>

<pre wrap="">Simon,
IMO:
After the recent Victorian Government Inquiry into public sector information, the outcome was that Vic Govt data should also be provided via Creative Commons.
You should be able to see most of their VicMap datasets via the ASDD. There will be a lot of other more detailed data via DSE/Catchment Management Authority partnerships. Probably to the scale that you're after. Again check the ASDD.
I'm assuming that you have DSE/SII contacts. Contact me off line if you don't.
Bruce

Bruce,
I have been looking at the GeoScience Australia Downloads but
all these are too broad for most of what I do. Need something
at 1:25,000 or better.
I suppose the biggest problem is aerial photography. What
little is out there is very broad scale regional stuff.
Nothing showing just one small area at a scale typically used
by people such as myself.
I am aware of the Australia Spatial Directory but I was
hoping to find some freely downloadable and free to use
datasets, before I go begging to data suppliers or data custodians.
Cheers Simon

Simon,
Check out the Australian Spatial Data Directory [1].
Geoscience Australia also have a wide range of datasets
that I understand are now available via Creative Commons.

Hi,
*** Sorry for cross-posting for those people on
both lists ***
Does anyone have or know of some high
resolution vector and
raster data that can be used in tutorials?
The datasets need to be unfetted by
intellectual property
constraints.
Essentially I want to build a set of tutorials
around this
data and have the users able to download and
manipulate the
data without breaking any laws.
Preferably I would like data for Australia, even better
southeast Australia.
Data
* georeferenced aerial photography (ECW
or JPG, 0.15m/pixel)
* shapefiles showing cadastral data,
soils, contours, roads
* DWG files showing details of a
development or plan
Spatial Reference System
* GDA94 MGA55
