If you are going to bring in any more administrative boundaries can we
please do them as a formal import. If there was one thing that I learnt
from the experience of doing the NSW ones is that bringing them in
manually is a massive PITA.

Thanks to Simon and Andrew for your responses which I now understand.
Can I now follow-on and request clarification about other data from
data.gov.au - for example the sources listed in the wiki for
Queensland Local Government Areas and QLD Suburb/Locality Boundaries
which are CC-BY-4.0 but do not have restrictions such as the mailout
condition in GNAF address data. Is it safe for me to add data from
these Queensland administrative boundary data sources?
I'm sorry to be a nuisance about the legality of our sources but I
struggle with some of the nuances and I don't want to create problems
that need to be sorted out at a later date.

The simple answer is "NO", the G-NAF data is published under a
non-open custom licence and currently can not be used directly in OSM.
Every communication we've had with the relevant authorities has
indicated that they are at this time not moving away from the
non-open licence. This may change in the future, but hasn't at this
point in time.
Using it for QA etc. is likely possible, but given the low number of
addresses we have in Australia to start with is likely not going to
help a lot.

I'm sorry that I'm slow in picking up an old thread from about six
months ago but I remain uncertain about the implications.
As I understand the situation, the licence that accompanies the GNAF
(address) data from data.gov.au is not itself adequate for OSM.
However the data it is covered by the explicit permission to which
Daniel O'Connor referred and which is clearly published in the OSM
Wiki at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/data.gov.au_explicit_permission.
Therefore it seems we are able to use the GNAF (address) data in OSM.
Please correct me if I have misunderstood the issues in this discussion.

I just had a quick look at the licence terms. While the license is
based on CC by 4.0 (which is own can of worms) it unluckily
contains a provision prohibiting specific use that makes the data
clearly (as in we will never, in no circumstances be able to adhere
to the terms) unusable for OSM and further means it does not meet
the definition herehttp://opendefinition.org/od/1.0/en/.
Sorry

Hi all,
Many of you may be interested in
https://blog.data.gov.au/news-media/blog/geocoded-national-address-data-be-made-openly-available
Provided the license is CC-BY-3.0 or better; we already have
explicit permission to use said data:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/data.gov.au_explicit_permission
For those of you interested in what specific data this is, I'd
encourage you to have a read of:
https://www.psma.com.au/sites/default/files/g-naf_product_description.pdf
Of interest to us:
* Address points with geocoding and full structured address
information
* Authoritive street names for a given suburb, with geocoding
(points though, not polylines)
* Authoritative suburb/locality points, geocoded - likely of
better accuracy than ABS "Statistic Suburb" data.
* Data refreshed quarterly; sourced from local and state
government (so emailing your council to submit a data correction
from survey is plausible)
