The changeset is here: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22023461>,
 does anyone have any comments about how it could be improved?

Personally -

1. I wouldn't use the new source value ABS SSC_2011_AUST.  I've used
ABS2011-data.gov.au, and that has close to 1500 uses.  ABS2011 has
over 5000.  Pick one of those, rather than a new source tag.

Done, cheers.

2. I'd add the postcode to the relation.  Nominatim uses it, and it is
goodness.  Assuming you know what it is.

Ditto. I've left it at admin_level=10 since it's still basically an ABS border per the table on <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:admin_level>, perhaps if the NSW LPI thing happens then that might need to get bumped to 8.

3. Where there is a boundary between the racecourse, the properties,
and the suburb, I would maintain they are all the same boundary, and
would use the same way.

Yeah, I noticed that last night. My inclination was to pretend it isn't a problem until the LPI comes around, then make everything align to that. :) I don't disagree that adjacent property boundaries should share ways, but I'm inclined to prefer suburb boundaries have their own, since they are political at best (social at worst) and hence independent of land title boundaries. TRhe splitting of Newtown between the Sydney and Marrickville councils was a good example. In any case, Mapbox for me is giving a pixel's width difference between the three, so I'm not confident about using that (or Bing) to try to rectify (so to speak) the situation at the moment.

As an aside, the inaccurate shifting of bing data that happened a year
or so is corrected in the mapbox satellite imagery we now have.
Although we don't have the same zoom levels, it again allows us to
accurately map these property and road centres, that are all misplaced
on the bing imagery.  Hopefully greater detail is coming soon.

What happened to Bing anyway? Can the offset be manually corrected?
