Re: [talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?
Hi Peter, If you are tagging unit addresses in Orange NSW, I see a lot (but not all) of strata complexes actually have the address with unit number in the NSW spatial services addressing theme, despite not being displayed in the DCS NSW Base Map layer. This is a useful data source where there is restricted access, especially in strata. We have a waiver to use spatial services data such as this. https://portal.spatial.nsw.gov.au/portal/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1=d3cf7c7edef14ca18248c6dc5fcaff96 Hope you find it useful. I am mapping in the Blue Mountains and have done a bit of work in Orange. A few nearby mappers are active in the OSM World discord server that was mentioned recently in the talk-au list if you'd like to join us for casual discussion.

Re: [talk-au] How to properly add address tags when multiple buildings share a housenumber?
Hi Peter, The tag addr:housenumber does not render on non-building areas, but it is still useful to include on the complex lot bounds to assist geocoding. You can read more about this at https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1746 Note that adding a node tagged with addr:housenumber at the centre of the complex will render on osm.org. If there are multiple dwellings on the complex with the same housenumber, you could add the addr:housenumber to every dwelling in the lot and consider adding addr:unit or addr:flats to each as necessary.

Re: [talk-au] OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been changed by 2hu4u
Hello, 2hu4u here (this is my first message on the mailing list). Regarding water towers, not sure if there is local/state variation, but large public tanks connected to the mains utility (commonly with capacities of 1-25 megalitres) are referred to by Sydney Water as "covered reservoirs". This is a grey area I guess; I thought perhaps it would be useful to distinguish the slight nuance between designated reservoirs and "man_made=storage_tank + content=water" of the kind that collects or stores water on a smaller scale and is disconnected from the greater water network. I will be posting photos of example tanks on the wiki soon. Looking forward to working with you all.
