3D Modelling & Visualisation

3D Modelling & Visualisation

At Collard Bushfire and Environmental, we create high-resolution 3D models and visualisations that bring landscapes, vegetation, and infrastructure to life.

Using photogrammetry, LiDAR data, and drone imagery, we produce digital models that provide a realistic, measurable view of your site — helping organisations, developers, and landholders better understand risks, communicate plans, and support compliance.

From bushfire hazard assessments to planning submissions and community engagement, our 3D modelling services make complex information clear, accurate, and actionable.

Our 3D Services

Accurate digital models and visualisations tailored for planning and resilience

Digital Terrain Models (DTM)

  • Accurate ground surface modelling stripped of vegetation and structures
  • Ideal for planning, drainage, and construction design

Digital Surface Models (DSM)

  • Includes vegetation, structures, and natural features for detailed analysis
  • Useful for bushfire behaviour modelling, evacuation planning, and environmental monitoring

Photogrammetry & LiDAR Integration

  • Combine aerial imagery with LiDAR scans for high-precision mapping
  • Ideal for engineering, hazard management, and restoration projects

Visualisation & Simulation

  • Interactive visuals showing project impacts, hazards, or design options
  • Communicate effectively with regulators, insurers, and communities

Combining CAD and GIS

One of our strengths is integrating GIS data with CAD workflows — turning terrain, vegetation, and hazard layers into engineering and architectural outputs.

  • Practical Design Outputs: Site-ready models for engineers, surveyors, and planners
  • Seamless Compliance: CAD-ready data aligned with BAL, BMO, and planning submissions
  • Better Collaboration: Shared datasets for a single, accurate source of truth

By combining GIS and CAD, we bridge the gap between mapping and design, giving clients visuals that are both realistic and ready for practical use.

Why 3D Modelling Matters

  • Clarity in Communication: Easier to explain technical details to stakeholders
  • Planning & Compliance: Many permits and hazard assessments require 3D modelling
  • Risk Reduction: Identify slope, vegetation, and structural challenges early
  • Community Engagement: Visuals that turn data into clear, relatable insights

Example Applications

  • Bushfire Hazard Assessments – modelling vegetation, slope, and flame paths
  • Evacuation Planning – simulate safe routes and zones
  • Tourism & Development Projects – cabins, trails, or resorts visualised
  • Environmental Monitoring – track recovery, erosion, and rehabilitation
