There's a discussion on the tagging list[1] about how to map shared zones[2] in Australia. The consensus is to use highway=living_street[3]. Please voice any comments you have on the tagging discussion, otherwise I'll update the wiki for highway=living_street and the Australian Tagging Guidelines.

The vicmap API isn't under an open license so it was never supposed to be used to derive data from for OSM. The vicmap data which you download, is allowed to be used, as it is CC BY 4.0 with the OSM waiver. I agree that having a background map we can load into editors makes it easier to add

Re: [talk-au] Road name abbreviation exception?

For places like `St Peters` and `St Leonards` the `St` abbreviation has become widely accepted by the community to the point that it's almost no longer an abbreviation. So I'd say it should be `St Peters` and not use `Saint Peters` even as an alt_name.
