We’re thrilled to announce that Geoscape Australia has signed an agreement with leading aerial mapping business, Aerometrex Limited, that allows us to access its image library for use in developing our location data products and services.

Aerometrex produces high resolution aerial imagery using the latest aerial mapping technologies. Having access to their image library will enable us to dramatically increase the accuracy and update frequency of our spatial data, especially Geoscape Buildings.

On signing the agreement, our CEO Dan Paull explained that we had been collaborating with Aerometrex for several years.

“Our product portfolio has benefited greatly from their high-quality imagery and related services,” Dan said. “We believe they’re the best at what they do in Australia, so we’re excited to deepen our partnership with them.”

Aerometrex’s Managing Director, Mark Deuter, said “We have demonstrated our ability to scale our capture and processing effort while still maintaining accuracy and further improving the quality and resolution of the product.” 

Geoscape will work with Aerometrex to incorporate the benefits of their imagery into our products and services as we continue to build the digital Australia.

Our agreement will take Geoscape Buildings data to the next level of quality. And help make Geoscape the most accurate, comprehensive and continuously updated representation of Australia’s built environment.

Geoscape Buildings captures the details of every building in Australia with a roof area greater than 9m². Building outlines, heights and more are available through our self-service Data on Demand portal, API services and our partners.

Geoscape Australia is a trusted source of essential national location data. We’re backed by the governments of Australia and a diverse ecosystem of data partners.

Aerometrex Limited is a professional aerial mapping business specialising in aerial photography, photogrammetry, LiDAR, 3D modelling and an aerial imagery subscription service, Metromap.

Further information about our partnership with Aerometrex will be provided in due course.
