Overview
Vicmap Address is the authoritative geocoded database of property address points for Victoria.
The product predominantly includes, but not exclusively, locational property address identifiers assigned by local government. Local government is the primary creator and custodian of property addresses.
Vicmap Address also contains, where accessible, other 'real life' property addresses created and used by the community but not recognised by local government. Examples include: retirement villages, assisted care facilities, industrial estates, alpine resorts and public housing estates.
Vicmap Address can be used to map the location of addressed assets or to verify the content of business address data.
Vicmap Address includes:
- street number and street name
- locality
- cross-reference to local government
- postcode and state
- cross-reference to Vicmap Property
- census district attribute.
Vicmap Address does not include non-property related and electronic address details such as email, post office (PO) boxes, roadside delivery points and roadside mailboxes.
The minimum address attributes required for a property address to be included in Vicmap Address are road name and locality.
The standard address details include the unit/house number(s), road name (including any type or suffix) and locality (town/suburb/rural district).

| Spatial accuracy | Rural property entrance locations for distance-based addressing (i.e. Rural Road Numbers) captured via GPS or submetre accuracy aerial photography. Urban addresses are generally located at an 8 m offset from the relevant property road frontage based on scale of capture (between 1:500 and 1:2,500) of the original Vicmap Property data. |
