Land and Property Information (LPI) offers a range of aerial photography and other imagery of NSW for viewing and purchase including:
Aerial photos of your area or property
LPI regularly captures aerial imagery of areas of the state and can provide:
- imagery of most areas
- from years between 1947 and the present
- as prints or digital files that can be suitable for use in a computerised geographical information system (GIS)
Georeferenced and orthorectified photos
In order to use imagery in a GIS, it may be necessary to georeference or orthorectify the imagery. Orthorectification removes distortions due to height, altitude of the aircraft and the terrain that has been photographed. This allows measurement to a precision in line with the scale of the photography.
Specialised radar, Lidar and satellite imagery
LPI has access to specialised radar, LiDAR, and satellite imagery, which captures contours, vegetation, floods and other special conditions and features. This imagery can be especially useful to organisations involved in planning and managing land use and the natural environment.
Free viewing of SIX imagery
Using the online spatial viewers in our SIX portal, you can zoom into any portion of the state and see aerial imagery, property boundaries and streets, and other free online features. Current aerial photography and 1943 Sydney images © Sinclair Knight Merz 2009 are also available.
