Mapping: Department of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia
One of the largest mapping projects undertaken by McMullen Nolan is the Mid-West Gascoyne Project, the working area of which covered the equivalent of 123 1:100,000 map sheets.
The main outcome for the project was to provide accurate digital topographic data in a region where existing mapping was at a small scale and in insufficient detail to support geological mapping and mineral exploration. The data was to be made available to the community for use in mining exploration, agriculture, conservation, land management, development and tourism.
McMullen Nolan responsibilities included delivering:
McMullen Nolan completed the project achieving sub-pixel (5m) accuracy with a joint paper presented to SPOT in Toulouse, France and at the Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Conference, Sydney 1998.
