I've heard people talking about Rural Addressing - What is It?

Council has been investigating and applying for grants to help fund the implementation of a Rural Addressing Scheme.

What is Rural Addressing?

 

Rural Addressing is a simple, straight forward means to identify and locate rural properties.

 

The system has been adopted by local governments throughout Australia.

 

 

How Does Rural Addressing Work?

 

Rural Addressing assigns an individual number to a property in accordance with set rules.

 

The number is based on a distance from a starting point, usually a road intersection, with odd numbers on the left and even numbers on the right.

 

 

Why is Rural Addressing Needed?

 

Rural Addressing will achieve an accurate, standardized means of locating rural properties. 

 

Currently, the task of locating rural properties requires a definition such as “just a few miles past the grid, or after the last letterbox”.

 

This has caused delays and inconvenience for emergency services and the delivery of goods and services to the community.

 

Rural Addressing will provide a standardized addressing system throughout Australia that is easy to understand and apply.

 

 

Naming of Roads and Localities

 

Rural addressing will provide new road and locality signs, as well as individual property number plates.

 

This will further assist the community and service providers to easily identify points of interest.

 

 

The Community and Rural Addressing

 

Rural Addressing is an involved process that will affect the community at large.

 

A process is in place to ensure that the residents, businesses and other interested parties are able to offer input and suggestions to the process.

 

From commencement, implementation is estimated to take a minimum of 12 months.

 

 

Rural Addressing is a collaborative community project administered by Land & Property Information, NSW and Local Government.
