To make things more complicated, in Australia, postcode or suburb boundaries can run along a street. This means for example that a houses in a street may be in several suburbs. The postcode boundaries have been imported, however if a street exists on one side of the boundary or the other (rather than directly along it) then it will only show up in the suburb it is mapped in?
