Guidelines for Street Address
General Rules:
- Street address must contain a street number and street name, or a reference to a corner of two streets
- "Cnr" is an acceptable abbreviation of "Corner" - but "Crn" is not
- "Ave", "Blvd", "Cr", "Hwy", "H/way", "Rd", "St", "Tce" etc are acceptable abbreviations
- Street address must not contain an ampersand "&"

Correct Examples:
- 12 Highview Road
- 12-34 Highview Road
- Cnr Highview Road and Hilltop Road
- 1234 Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road
- Lot 1A 123 Highview Road - can be OK, but is not assured. Just use the street number and name
- "RMB 1234 Yarck Road" - can be OK, but is not assured. "RMB1234" is not valid.
Troubleshooting Incorrect Examples:
- "123", or "Highview Road" are inadequate - both a street number and street name are required

- "c/- 12 Highview Road" - don't use "c/-", "c/o" - just the street number and name please
- "Lot 12 Highview Road" - we need a street number. Assistance is available for remote locations
- "unit 123, 45 Highview Road", "Suite 12, 34 Highview Road", "1/23 Highview Road", "Y1 Block Victoria Park Road", "USQ West Street", "Tullamore Park, McKenzie St" - please put the unit or floor number, building name or feature in the box below
- "Highview and Hilltop Rds" - should be "Cnr Highview and Hilltop"
- 12 - 34 Highview Road / PO Box 56 - just the street address please
- Ourtown High School Highview Road - just the street address please
- 12 Highview Road, Tragowel - just the street address please
- Long Reef Surf Life Saving Club - some institutions are recognised (e.g. "Dreamworld Parkway, Coomera"), but most aren't

- "EmohRuo" Highview Road - we need a street number please. Put the property name in the box below.
- Crn Northbourne Avenue & London Circuit - wrong abbreviation for "corner" and ampersand cannot be used
- 1234 Mt Gravatt/Capalaba Road - use a dash "-", not a slash "/"
- loc 123 Dalwallinu-Kalannie Road - remote locations: please seek assistance if there are no street numbers
- "Galiwin'ku Community Elcho Island" - remote locations: please seek assistance
Correct Format, but No Result:
- "cnr Oakey Connection Road and Ramsay Street" ... try a street number in one of the streets
