Presentation Outline
• Importance of good addressing
• Aims of the addressing Standard

• Significant aspects of and changes in the Standard …
Addresses are important
But where’s the ambulance?
Impact of poor addressing
• People can’t locate the property
• Emergency service responses impeded
• Disaster management and recovery impeded
• Government agencies, businesses, and the public bear unnecessary costs
• Wasted effort, usually repetitive, trying to resolve address conflicts
• AS/NZS 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing
• Replaces initial 2003 version
• Developed for Australia and New Zealand
• Public consultation process
• Directed at local government
– 67 territorial authorities in NZ
– 560 councils in Australia
New Addressing Standard
Aims and Scope of Standard
• To ensure the assignment of addresses that can be readily and unambiguously identified and located
• Addresses to be as simple as possible
• Excludes specific postal requirements
• Excludes data management and transfer
• Applies to ‘new’ addressing – not retrospective
Approach to specifying requirements
• Enduring
• Mandatory (‘shall’)
• Desirable (‘should’)
• Separate Guidelines for ‘helpful’ and ‘useful’, and for further interpretation
– Further development, as issues arise
– National consistency
Sections in Standard
2. Address information
