I'm a JOSM user. I can search and download for anything with the tag name=Macarthur Avenue. Similarly I can search and download any addr:street=Macarthur. I don't know if Id has the same capablity?

Yep, really frustrating. I started years ago adding just road names where OSM was missing them. In Vic. & NSW we now have gov. data for both road names and house numbers... so much quicker.

The same problem with all caps exists on the DCS Base Map for NSW too.
I am not local so cannot do anything that way. Street signs too mostly all caps so they too are usually of no help.
The lower case entry dates from some 14 years ago. That is a long time for the capitalization to be corrected. I leave it to you, but make any change to both the addresses and road name. If it is wrong I expect someone will pick it up from the displayed road name.

Hi,
way/1180947989 - addr:interpolation has both even and odd addr numbers .. that does not work for either even or odd values in addr:interpolation...

Hummm .. Can I leave you to look at this for correction?

The name on the road is "Macarthur Avenue" Note the capitalization should be the same on the addr:street value so they are an exact match. I assume the road name is correct as that is what is displayed on most maps.

Hi,

There is a problem with building way/1216150277.

PS thanks for adding addr:street here. The rendering generates ~2.7 Mb of error messages .. some of them get fixed when addr:street is present.

I have picked up some of my own.

I think I have all of them now.

The NSW ones look to be correct already.

Name corrected using DCS Base Map... Use what OSM has available .. not copyright stuff.

the name tag is for names ONLY.. not geographic descriptions..

HI,
Looks to me that the ABS data copyright is not useable in OSM ...
See https://www.abs.gov.au/website-privacy-copyright-and-disclaimer#copyright-and-creative-commons

Bugger, I just changed them with this changeset :(

Ok .. I'll change all these to ummm Toolebuc .. fingers crossed...

I'll have to go looking for Tooleybuc NSW and see if those are correct ...

Hi,

Thanks for adding these addressed .. but abbreviations should be expanded, in particular the addr:street should match the road name used in OSM including any capitalization. So Letitia st should be Letitia Street. That way the data matches when someone searches for it.

The sydney boundary is not something that should be changed to suit imagery.

Further the changes have resulted in the boundary relation being broken - no longer forming a continuous boundary.
