hi there, apologies if this has been covered before. Relatively high-resolution (min 4/6 points per m2) laser scans are available for free download for the entire state of NSW, Australia

https://elevation.fsdf.org.au/ (search for a location, select an area to request, then look for point clouds in the data from NSW Govt Spatial services, enter your email address, receive a download link). It explicitly states that there is no limit to the number of requests that can be made.

It is a bit time-consuming to request point clouds for the entire state (there is a limit of 1.5 arc-seconds on requests) but this could easily be scripted

I was wondering if you had come across this resource before and if it is something that you would consider integrating as a base layer?

An example is available here

Note that the height is off by tens of metres from the basemap (geoid height?). I presumably need to adjust this in the source data (?)
