The aerial map
A current, scaled, top-down photo map of your whole property, stitched from hundreds of drone images. Measure paddocks, fence lines, tracks and distances, and see far more detail than satellite imagery.

What you get
Aerial, Contour and Crop Health Maps From One Drone Flight
2
The contour map
Elevation in colour with contour lines, so you can see exactly where water runs, where it sits and where the high ground is. Plan dams, drainage, laneways and earthworks from real levels.
Example3
The crop health map
Multispectral imagery turned into NDVI and NDRE maps. Green is thriving, red is stressed. You see which patches need a closer look before walking every paddock.
Not every job needs all three. Tell us what you're planning and we'll quote only what's useful.
Services
2D Site Maps, Topographic Surveys & Crop Health Scans Across Victoria
01
2D orthomosaic mapping
A scaled aerial map of your whole property or site, with a pre-flight site check, high-resolution imagery and video, and documentation of fences, tracks, sheds and infrastructure. Delivered by secure cloud link.
02
Topographic & contour mapping
RTK elevation data with colour-coded heights and contour lines. Built for farm planning, land development, earthworks and infrastructure.
03
Crop & pasture health scans
Multispectral NDVI and NDRE maps that show variation in plant vigour across every paddock, so you or your agronomist know where to check, test or treat first.
04
Dam, drainage & laneway planning data
Contour and flow data for planning dams, drains, crossings and laneways. Hand it to your earthmover or designer before work starts.
05
Development & subdivision site maps
Current orthomosaic and elevation data for early design, feasibility and earthworks planning on development land.
06
Combined map packages
Aerial, contour and crop health maps from a single visit, so one flight answers several questions.

Price depends on area, terrain and airspace. Permits and approvals may add fees. For title boundaries or certified surveys you'll need a licensed surveyor — we're happy to supply data to yours.
"Our goal is simple: provide reliable aerial data that improves visibility, supports safer operations, and helps projects stay on track."
Drone Topographic Mapping From a Licensed Pilot Who Knows Land and Building
Brett Mitchell has spent more than 30 years in the building industry and holds a private pilot licence with over 3,500 hours in the air. He knows why levels matter — whether you're placing a dam, a house pad or a new laneway — and every flight follows CASA's CASR Part 101 rules.
We fly an RTK drone backed by a DJI D-RTK 3 local base station and network RTK (NTRIP) correction, giving far more accurate positioning than a standard drone and far more current detail than public elevation data. Multispectral paddock health scans add a view of what's happening in the crop itself.

Why RTK matters
Real Levels, Not a Best Guess From Old Public Data
Base station on site
A DJI D-RTK 3 base station and network correction on every mapping flight.
See where water goes
Contours show the flow paths and low spots behind wet paddocks and washouts.
See what the crop is doing
Multispectral scans flag stress you can't see from the ute.

FAQ
Drone Mapping & Crop Scan Questions, Answered
A 2D orthomosaic is a scaled aerial photo of your property — what's on the ground and where. A topographic map shows height: colour-coded elevation and contour lines that reveal slopes, low spots and where water flows. Many clients get both from the same flight.
We fly an RTK drone with a DJI D-RTK 3 local base station and network RTK correction, which gives far more accurate positioning than a standard drone and far more current detail than public elevation data. Exact accuracy depends on terrain, ground cover and conditions, so we'll talk it through before we fly. For title boundaries, legal set-out or certified surveys, you need a licensed surveyor — we're not one, and we're happy to supply our data to yours.
It maps variation in plant vigour across your paddocks using multispectral imagery (NDVI and NDRE), so stressed areas stand out from healthy ones. It shows you where to look; it doesn't diagnose the cause. Waterlogging, nutrition, pests and disease can all look similar, so use the map to direct soil tests, tissue tests or your agronomist's walk.
Usually during active growth, when there's enough canopy for differences to show and still time to act. Tell us the crop and sowing date and we'll suggest timing. Repeat scans through the season can be quoted.
From house blocks and development sites to whole farms. Larger properties take longer to fly and process, which is reflected in the quote. Tell us the approximate hectares and what you want to know, and we'll scope it.
Depending on the job: the orthomosaic map, contour and elevation maps, crop health maps, and aerial photos. Everything comes through a secure cloud link, in formats we confirm before the flight so your agronomist, earthmover, engineer or designer can use them. Final files are released once the invoice is paid.
If rain, wind over 35 km/h, poor visibility or extreme heat make a flight unsafe, we reschedule at no extra charge. If we can't fly because of something we weren't told about — locked gates, stock in the way, no access — a standby fee applies.
