Note: The successful supplier(s) will be contracted by Ngā Tāngata Tiaki o Whanganui (NTT). LINZ is managing this RFT process as part of its role as the NZ government lead agency for national LIDAR.

As part of the PGF-LiDAR programme, we require LiDAR data for the Whanganui River catchment that overlaps with adjacent national LiDAR data in the Taranaki and Waikato regions. An immediate use of the data will be for better mapping of the catchment for environmental management, and we require the survey to be planned to maximise ground returns under the dense forest canopy in much of the area. The data will also serve as a refresh and expansion of the current Whanganui District dataset.

We are seeking one supplier to collect and deliver the survey data in 2025.
