Hi Yuchen, For me it's a lack of programming skills. In some other cases its lack of open data for the addresses. There is also a requirement for good documentation and community support for any imports.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import We have open data for some states https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Sources If you have the skills to assist with imports then I am sure the community will assist where possible in identifying issues that will need to be resolved (ie like rural addresses that are often at the centroid of large holdings). In my home state of Tasmania we have access to the full address data as OpenData if you are looking to start somewhere, but I also see that the VIC import is well progressed and the code for that project may well be useful for other state imports.

Hello, I read in a 6-year old post[1] that the Netherlands had an address coverage of over 99%. This made me curious what would be the Australian number. G-NAF boasts 15M addresses[2], whereas according to metrics.improveosm.org there are less than 1.2M address points mapped in AU[3], so that makes it less than 8%, way lower than the Netherlands. But please correct me if my stats are flawed.

What are the main roadblocks? For Victoria there was an initiative to import vicmap addresses[4][5], I wonder how many addresses it will add, and why it apparently got stuck (0 edits from the importer user[6]) [4] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2021-May/014622.html [5] https://gitlab.com/alantgeo/vicmap2osm/ [6] https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/vicmap_import Best, Yuchen -- Timezone: UTC+10 PGP Key: 47F9 D050 1E11 8879 9040 4941 2126 7E93 EF86 DFD0 <https://ypei.org/assets/ypei-pubkey.txt> _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
