Please don't. Imports are a real, real annoyance. There's no indication that anyone using the dracos site has "located" these with any accuracy or personal knowledge - I wouldn't be surprised to find many just somewhere "near" the road in question. I'd rather have a partially complete, high quality map than a bodge of crap data (NAPTAN, anyone?) that just encourages more people to add crap data and get the "community to fix it". Let real mappers, in the real world, do the mapping. That's what we do best. Leave the automated imports of sub-standard data to our colleagues in the US.
