Hey Andrew,
Forgive my ignorance; how should we approach the Nominatim team? I'm
more than happy to do so, I just don't know where to go.

Since we don't have formally defined boundaries for

So should we remove 7/5?
I'd be happy to get rid of admin_level 7. It never really had a good
definition. The ACT district boundaries are currently 7 so we'd have to
move them. Maybe to 5, or move 6 to 7 and make 6 the "county" level. We
currently don't have anything at 5.
I checked via the overpass wizard query "admin_level=8 in AU" and
there are no results, so no australia post borders are mapped that
way, and I'm not aware of any.
I think that was an accident of history. boundary=postal_code was
created after someone chose admin_level=8 for AU post codes.
So I'm supportive of removing Australia Post Postode Border from
admin_level=8.
I second that.
That leaves should we move localities from 9 to 8? I don't think it
really matters much to be honest.
Looking at other countries 8 appears to be things that have some form
of administrative body. We should get rid of either 9 or 10 we don't
really need both. Maybe move localities up to 9?
We should ask the Nominatim team before we go making any changes. We
don't want to break their stuff.
