I've just moved from the UK to Australia, and of all the things I thought I'd miss about the UK, postcodes wasn't high on my list of guesses. Here, a postcode is a 4 digit number. If you're lucky, it has enough granularity to identify your suburb.

So instead, Australia has a highly regularised database for identifying streets and numbers, even to the point of regulating st/ln/av/rd etc.

Of course, that ain't free either....

Coming to this later through your parking platform post… it seems the Consultation is still underway, open until 16th Dec 2023.

And I consider the OS open data reform @charlesarthur ‘s greatest legacy!
