City of Melbourne 3D Point Cloud 2018

3D point cloud representing all physical features (e.g. buildings, trees and terrain) across City of Melbourne. The data has been encoded into a .las file format containing geospatial coordinates and RGB values for each point. The download is a zip file containing compressed .las files for tiles across the city area.

The geospatial data has been captured in Map Grid of Australia (MGA) Zone 55 projection and is reflected in the xyz coordinates within each .las file.
Also included are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) attributes to indicate the colour of each point.
