Aerial and satellite imagery data for Australia

Partial open imagery Open orthophotos or high-resolution imagery exist, but only for limited areas such as regions or cities.

New South Wales publishes statewide 50 cm and town-scale 10 cm aerial imagery under Creative Commons Attribution, and Queensland releases state-program imagery three or more years old under CC BY 4.0 (projects from 2 cm to 240 cm). Western Australia's regional mosaics are subscription services.
