It is built and maintained by [Geoscape Australia](https://geoscape.com.au/) using authoritative government data. Further information about contributors to G-NAF is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/legal/data-copyright-and-disclaimer/). G-NAF is one of the most ubiquitous and powerful spatial datasets. It contains more than 15 million Australian physical address records. The records include geocodes, which are latitude and longitude map coordinates. G-NAF does not contain personal information or details relating to individuals. Updated versions of G-NAF are published on a quarterly basis. Users have the option to download datasets with feature coordinates referencing either GDA94 or GDA2020 datums. **Changes in the November 2024 release** * Nationally, the Nov 2024 update of G-NAF shows a decrease of 39,230 addresses overall (-0.25%). The total number of addresses in G-NAF now stands at 15,659,449 of which 14,824,922 or 94.67% are principal. * In the November 2024 release 84,200 addresses have been retired. The retired addresses are either historical addresses that have been replaced by other addresses or “infill” addresses. * In the November 2024 release of G-NAF, there have been some changes to the localities in New South Wales and the Northern Territory. In New South Wales, the locality of BLUE MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK has been retired and replaced by 13 new localities along with amendments to adjoining locality boundaries. In the Northern Territory, the localities of BESWICK and PIGEON HOLE have been replaced with WUGULARR and NITJPURRU respectively. * There have been updates to the GNAF_PROPERTY ID in New South Wales and Western Australia. 960,000 updates have been made in New South Wales and 20,000 updates in Western Australia. * Geoscape has moved product descriptions, guides and reports online to https://docs.geoscape.com.au. Further information on G-NAF, including FAQs on the data, is available [here](https://geoscape.com.au/data/g-naf) or through Geoscape Australia’s network of [partners](https://geoscape.com.au/partners/). They provide a range of commercial products based on G-NAF, including software solutions, consultancy and support.

Export Data Access API Geocoded Addressing Theme Please Note: WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality. Metadata Portal Metadata Information Content TitleNSW Geocoded Addressing ThemeContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Geocoded Urban and Rural Addressing System (GURAS) is a ‘property’ based address database. Each property polygon captured within GURAS has a unique numeric identifier and contains at least one authoritative address which is sourced from local councils via the valuation of land database, also managed by LPI-Valnet. Properties may contain more than one address sourced from various other organisations.The GURAS database is commonly used by all levels of government for emergency services, computer aided dispatch systems, postal and delivery services, and to identify location.Address points are generally system generated points and do not always have a direct correlation to the dwelling location. In circumstances where there are multiple disparate lots for one property, particularly in rural addresses, the system generated address points may not reside within the correct property polygon. Owner's names are not part of the GURAS database, nor does GURAS contain any personal information.The Geocoded Addressing Theme is a single source of truth for address information in NSW, GURAS eliminates the costly duplication of effort where all local councils, Australia Post, emergency service organisations and other agencies and businesses maintained individual address databases with different creation and distribution regimes.Geocoded Addressing Data Theme includes the following feature classes:Waypoint - A WayPoint is a point located on the RoadSegment feature class for an address where the road naming attributes from both the AddressString and the RoadSegment classes are identical. Indicates the approximate entry point of for an address.Address Point - A point feature class used to spatially locate an address / address stringThe Address Point Layer includes the below sub types:BuildingHomesteadMonumentPropertyUnit/StrataOtherPro Way - A Proway is a line that spatially connects the AddressPoint and WayPoint.The Pro Way Layer includes the following subtypes:RightLeftOtherInitial Publication Date06/04/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m.

The Geographical Names Register (GNR) is a database of the authoritative place names in NSW. Since its inception in 1966 the Geographical Names Board has recorded information in relation to NSW geographical names within the GNR. There are currently over eighty thousand place names recorded in the GNR. On average, 200 new place names are assigned and added to this database every year. Every record in this database has the provision for over thirty attributes ranging from spatial location information in respect to co-ordinate, map tile, parish etc. to cultural information on history, meaning and origin. The GNR also holds official information such as the name’s status and feature type, and temporal information dealing with the gazettal date of the name.
