Abstract
The changes in the landscape that impact features of the area underpins the need to build a geographic information system (GIS) that provides information including:
• Highly detailed imagery of the existing land cover and geological features.
• Areas of erosion
• Vegetation characteristics including areas of invasive species
Through the use of a drone, collected images resulted in maps of the area that allow one to closely visualize details of the ground cover or vegetation and 3D models that allow interaction with the imagery.
This report covers the results of a drone survey conducted on the 19-21st of September and a follow-up flight on 6th of November 2019 of the North head of Hokianga Harbour, with work being done to provide information for the needs of the Te Tāpairu Hirahira o Kahakaharoa and Te Puna Topu o Hokianga Trusts.
The mahi is aimed at acquiring detailed imagery for the description and characterisation of land cover thereby contributing to a Geographic Information System (GIS) relevant to the needs major stakeholders. Results of the survey and highlights of the findings are included in the summary that refers to the maps developed. A detailed technical report at the end of the figures is also included.
