Description

AS NZS 4819 – 2011 Edition – Rural and urban addressing

AS NZS 4819 provides requirements and guidance for addressing authorities to use for—

• assigning addresses;naming roads and localities;
• recording and mapping the related information; and
• signage related to the above.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this Standard is to specify requirements for assigning addresses that can be readily and unambiguously identified and located.
In order to achieve this goal, the objectives of the Standard are that:

• Localities enable addresses to be uniquely and clearly identified.
• Assigned names for roads or other primary means of access enable addresses to be readily and uniquely identified.
• Assigned address numbering enables address sites to be readily located.
• Signage enables assigned addresses to be readily identified and located.
• Address information enables sites to be readily located.

The Standard aims to keep addresses as simple as possible to enable their ready application.For example an address is not allowed to include two road names, such as within complexes like a retirement village (addressing within a complex is now treated using normal address methodology). Provisions for numbering apartments using the method commonly used in hotels are now specified, thereby avoiding the need to specify level or unit type.
