noiseMelbourne

This repository was set up to contain code for preparing Melbourne data inputs required for noise model

Overview

There are three main scripts:

• landcover.R, which adds G-values to the landcover raster
• boundaries.R, which produces a file of SA3 boundaries for Melbourne.
• buildings.R, which adds purpose and height values to building footprints.

Input files

The code requires the following input files, which are available [to authorised users] at [insert location when known]. The code assumes that the input files are located in a data directory ("../data/") which sits beside the directory in which the script files are located.
