in the area.
Agree that street and housenumber are the required tags, with others optional.
That is my 2 cents worth.
Stephen.

Re: [talk-au] Address tagging guidelines for Australia
Dear all
Sorry to resend this but I just wanted to have some
feedback on my recommendations about addresses and my
question about
I'd still suggest
addr:city=Brisbane
addr:suburb=The Gap
This follows the full addressing, I don't know if there is any other
suburb The Gap but imagine two suburbs A_suburb in two different cites
A_city and B_city in the same state in the same country.
The if you put:
addr:city=A_suburb
Hi.
I think in Australia, as far as gazetted places go, suburb=town, but for
these, you can derive it if the suburb has an admin boundary.
City is not gazetted. E.g. Sydney is a suburb. An address in nearby Pyrmont
is not in Sydney (the suburb), so saying it is in a city called Sydney
might be

Hi.
There is an admin boundary level for local government areas. This is like a
British county.
Note that all these can be derived for an address simply by looking where
the address node is. Is it inside the boundary for the country Australia?
Then then the address is in Australia. No need to
Thanks Ben and Warin for your input.
So my understanding of it so far is that we could recommend to tag as
follows:
*addr:housenumber=*separated with semicolons if several, or range using
a hyphen (current general addressing recommendations)*
**addr:street=*full way name*
I prefer
state=Queensland
state_code=QLD
country=Australia
country_code=AU
which I understand is consistent with
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in
While there is scope for abbreviations in certain special identified
categories, the norm remains that names written in full. It seems
Welcome Stéphane!

Thanks everyone for your input.
I wonder what was the rationale behind using abbreviations for countries
and states as I understood that the database must be as human-readable
as possible.
Still, I will be following the recommendations on the Key:addr page for
addr:country=AU.
However, I am

I had missed that reference in the wiki re addr:country

Hi all
My first email to the list - I hope I am doing the right thing. If not,
let me know.
I was wondering why there wasn't any guidelines about tagging addresses
in Australia on the page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines
It would be very helpful for
I came to this because I was asking myself:
- Are we using QLD or Queensland for addr:state?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:state
- What is our definition of suburb vs city for the tags? (e.g. The Gap
vs Brisbane. Postal addresses only contain The Gap, and it is referred
as a suburb
