LIST Building Polygons

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

The Building Polygons dataset represent building footprints of man made structures used for occupation, commercial, service or storage purposes within Tasmania. The building footprints are captured using a combination of aerial imagery, LIDAR, and custodial data using a versioned editing process in ArcGIS Desktop. Historically, either points or polygons were used to depict building locations, with the option defined by the building size. To provide a more flexible dataset, polygons are the only feature type now used in the dataset. Previous point features were converted to 2m x 2m square polygons, as part of the data model update in October 2022. As such, these square polygons do not represent the associated building footprint but are used to depict spatial location only. Building types include: Residence, Feature (those shown in red on the Tasmanian Towns Street Atlas), Shed, Ruin, Commercial, Industrial, Education, Health, Emergency, Accommodation, and Amenity.
