This should go into OpenAddresses - http://openaddresses.io

OpenAddresses was set up by some OSM developers as a better way of parsing, tracking and combining these kinds of address datasets rather than storing them directly in the OSM database.

There are already a lot of addresses in there in Queensland and Victoria, so it may be some work to combine them.

I'm the guy who imported the Queensland and Victoria addresses, and I've been in touch with members of the government in Canberra who are leading out this effort. The new release should supersede the existing Australian datasources in OpenAddresses.io; my expectation is that we'll deprecate them in favor of this one.

PSMA publish GNAF every three months. Need to think about a production process and metadata :-). There are about 100k "new" addresses each time and a lot of addresses improve their location. Might be worth asking for a change file.

Nice work with OpenAddress.io BTW.
