You may have noticed two small aircraft flying overhead recently. They are undertaking high-resolution aerial surveys of our urban areas and some rural.

Data from the surveys will contribute to better planning around flood and climate resilience. It also helps us provide more accurate land and topographic information to the public.

As part of the Canterbury Aerial Imagery Consortium, made up of Environment Canterbury and the 10 district councils; we have contracted Landpro to carry out two aerial surveys.
