Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) Was first used in 1993 by Geodan Geodesie B. V. as a cheaper alternative in the collection of spatial information than traditional survey methods and photogrammetry. ALS has become important in creating Digital Terrain Models (DTM) with high precision at a far lower cost to other methods. Shoalhaven City Council employed ALS in May 200 I for the purpose of obtaining detailed survey information within budgetary constraints. The aim Was to determine the effectiveness of using ALS for coastal and environmental management by testing the accuracy of ground level points against traditionally surveyed points.
