Urban Property Addressing

• Property addressing is guided by the Australian / New Zealand Standard – Rural and Urban Addressing (AS/NZS 4819:2011).
• A Property address is determined by the positioning of the driveway and/or letterbox and which street they face.
• Gladstone Regional Council’s GIS department allocates street numbering. Council notifies the Department of Resources (DR) and Australia Post once an address is allocated.
• Street addressing happens when a new subdivision or survey plan is registered.
• Incorrect addressing enquiries can be lodged via Council’s Online Services. When lodging an online request, please include best contact details. There is no charge to the customer to change a street address.
