PSMA Australia’s RoleA collaborative national solution
30 million contributed addresses
into over 13 million G-NAF addresses in 13 weeks
The G-NAF production process does not make any assumptions about
the quality of the input addresses.
G-NAF independently examines and validates every
candidate address.
Each address is matched and
validated against the geospatial region to
which it relates: state, locality, street and finally, property.
One of the most valuable features of G-NAF is the linkages created between ‘official’ and ‘in-use’ addresses.
A geocoded address opens up a world of location opportunity
What to expect from G-NAF on data.gov.au• Around 3GB in its
packaged format. • 30 separate tables
of data. • Best utilised in a
structured relational database.
