LINZ seeks suppliers to undertake 3D coastal mapping

Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) is now looking for suppliers to capture airborne topographic and bathymetric LiDAR data as part of its 3D Coastal Mapping programme.

LINZ has issued a Request for Tenders (RFT) on the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS), with a close date of 8 October 2024.

The 3D Coastal Mapping programme will map up to 40% of New Zealand’s coastline to help the country prepare for the impacts of climate change, such as coastal erosion.

The data will be used to create detailed 3D maps of the coast and adjacent seafloor, providing a baseline to understand how our coastline is changing from climate events and natural hazards like tsunami and earthquakes.

LINZ intends to engage one or two suppliers over a three-year period to complete the data capture across multiple regions around New Zealand.

The areas to be mapped are highly populated parts of the coastline, as well as areas with significant coastal infrastructure and where there is a higher risk of coastal inundation.

Interested suppliers are encouraged to review the full Request For Tender (RFT) documentation on GETS for more details on the scope of work, requirements, and submission guidelines.
