The Regional Coastal Aerial Survey (RCAS) is an ongoing monitoring program across the CMB coastal zone. The project captures high-resolution aerial imagery and topographic survey data at regular intervals (currently three-yearly) and following major coastal events. The survey provides essential information to assess the current condition of coastal assets such as seawalls, groynes, and beaches, support planning, design, and maintenance activities, and provide a reference dataset for comparing historic and future coastal conditions. Orthoimages are aerial photographs that have been geometrically corrected ("orthorectified") to remove distortions caused by camera tilt, terrain variations, and lens properties. The data shared here is for informational and visualisation purposes only and may not contain the accuracy for comprehensive 3D modelling, site-specific analysis or navigational purposes. Please contact us through council website to get reports and detailed information.
