Geoscape Buildings - 3D data for Australia's Built Environment
17.6 million buildings (September 2022)
Geoscape Buildings captures extensive 3D data about Australia's built environment.
This initiative is based on aerial and satellite imagery
Geoscape Buildings includes:​
​
​​
-
Maximum roof height (above ground)
-
Average eave height (above ground)
-
Elevation (above sea level)
-
Primary roof material classification
-
Solar panel PV indicator
-
Swimming pool indicator
-
Zone and residential indicator
-
Image capture date
-
Review dates for Buildings, Swimming Pools and Solar Panels
-
Roof colour
-
Linkages to Geoscape G-NAF, Cadastre and Property
-
Building roof polygon (including number of vertices and roof area)
-
Surface Cover and Tree cover (the latter with height attribution) are separate companion datasets
-
For solar panel polygons, please refer the separate Geoscape Solar dataset
Application Ideas
​
The following are applications across fibre telco, wireless telco and professional services.
For further details including licensing please contact us.
Telecoms - Fibre optic On-Net
Does your Fibre On-Net determination process soley rely on G-NAF address data? If so, are you aware of cases where G-NAF has no sub-addresses, yet multiple distinct buildings exist at a given site? See below for example map.
​
Given that fibre is run to specific buildings at a site, the above scenario could highlight an issue within your current Fibre service prequalification processes. We can help in the first instance by highlighting the differences between G-NAF and Buildings.
Above: Geoscape Buildings. Building polygons are shaded light purple
The red stars represent G-NAF address coordinates
The light grey outlines represent land parcel boundaries, sourced from Geoscape’s Cadastre dataset
The blue street polyline layer is sourced from Geoscape’s Roads dataset
Telecoms - Fixed Wireless On-Net
(Line of sight based on buildings)
Does your wireless service prequalification determine On-Net based on whether the GNAF address point is spatially within your RF coverage polygons? If this is the case, then you may be experiencing either false positives or false negatives.
Note how in the map below, the GNAF coordinates fall well outside the respective building polygons. By licensing the Buildings 3D dataset, your processes can more accurately assess "roof top On-Net".

Red stars represent GNAF address points. Labels are street numbers.
The blue street polyline layer is sourced from Geoscape's separate Roads dataset
Telecoms - Fixed Wireless On-Net
(Line of sight based on trees)
Geoscape’s 2m Tree Cover data provides height attribution. This can prove useful in line-of-sight fixed wireless telecoms applications.

Professional services
Geoscape Building’s zoning and other attribution can support a range of geo-demographic modelling applications.
