Hi James,
If there is only one building at the address, I would merge the
building and the address point.
You can mark the entrance as described here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:entrance
If there is more than one building, add a perimeter, and merge the
address to that:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Multiple_buildings_for_one_housenumber
If the other buildings are garages, garden sheds then I would still put
the address on the house.
Note that according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses
there are several options for tagging buildings with addresss, but the
above are my preferred methods.
Regards,
David

Hello James!
FYI those addresses you see were likely created as part of the NSW
address import project - that is why they are in the middle of the
lot :) Please feel free to improve on its accuracy by merging it into
an actual building!

G'day James & welcome!
Personally, I've always gone with either #3, with the address node
at the driveway, or drawn the building & added the address details
to that.
Either way seems to work, in the they render, & also appear in an
address search (at least on OSMand!)
Good luck & have fun!
Thanks
Graeme

Hello, folks - first time poster here, and (while I first edited
OSM a while ago) this my first time doing a lot of work in it to
make it nicer.
I'm adding the buildings around where I live. They're all
individual buildings, mainly houses. In my part of Australia
we've address points, which come from the local council. They're
in the middle of the lot - not necessarily in the middle of the
building on the lot.
Should I be:
1. Adding the building outlines and moving the address points to
the centre of the building?
2. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point
onto the outline, so they're merged?
3. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point
onto the outline at the entrance, so they're merged?
4. What the hell are you doing James, don't touch the address
points?
Looking at the renderer: if I do #3, that moves the street
number to the entrance of the property, which is quite helpful,
especially for a building on a corner.
