Address Locator for Australia?

[DarrochKaye]

Hi,

Is there an Address Locator for Australia available for download? If not, how would I go about building one? I've read through various tutorials etc about this and the main thing I do not understand is what format and what fields are required for an Address Locator.

I am very new to Geocoding so any advice and/or tips on how to create one would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DK

Is there still interest in this? I am in the process of building an address locator based upon the GNAF data that is now open data.  Im hoping to be able to squeeze it into a file geodatabase.  Let me know!

Would be very interested in GNAF geodatabase for use within ArcGIS.

Hi

I'm in a class today and a bit rushed but attached is a TBX with a Spatial ETL tool and model in it that will create a fetaure class ADDRESS from GNAF pipe-delimited data.

You can then make a locator.  When i find time I may clean this up and post it as a GP sample.

Hi Bruce,

TBX, Spatial ETL tool and model look promising. Will need to contact you as having issue running Spatial ETL tool.

The ETL tool parameters (the wildcard reading of the PSV files) will probably need adjusting.

It is easiest to edit the ETL tool (which opens Workbench) and adjust the paths to your data.

The Model that makes the ADDRESS feature class does not expand house number ranges, I'll make something that does that.  You can email me at work bharold@esri.com.

Hi

I edited the input parameters to be a little easier to navigate from the GP dialog, but you'll still need to edit the values.

Also included is another ETL tool that creates a feature class EXPANDEDADDRESSES of extra site addresses implied by ranges in NUMBER_LAST > NUMBER_FIRST.  I'm not sure that is always valid but if so append the points to the ADDRESS feature class.

Also fixed an omission, formatting DATE type fields.
