Hey Mateusz,
The "sub address" that the reporter is describing are subdivisions with
individual unit numbers. The unit number should be mapped using
addr:unit, rather than included as part of the house number.
For example, a postal address of 1/50-52 Smith St should be mapped as:
addr:unit=1
addr:housenumber=50-52
Unfortunately, the default carto rendering of unit numbers (with the
unit after the house number, "50-52 1") looks wrong and confusing to
Australians. Putting the unit with the housenumber is a way to force a
"better" rendering.

I want to confirm report from

"In my area (and throughout built-up parts of Australian cities in
general)
it is not uncommon to encounter blocks of townhouses which share a
primary address number but have distinct sub-address numbers.
The complete address numbers of such houses are written in the format
<sub>/<primary>, eg "1/50", "2/50", "3/50" for the first three houses
sharing the primary address site "50 Example St"."
Is it accurate? Is addr:housenumber=1/50 the standard and preferred
solution in such cases?
(I am asking as I know nothing about Australia addressing)
(BTW, if for some reason you want to comment on something
that is Australia and StreetComplete-specific - I will be on this
mailing list
for some time, but as usual problem are better reported at the issue
tracker)
