Custom Preferences
Australia supports the following custom preferences and output fields.
Preference | Description |
---|---|
Calculate Centerline Projection of Point | Computes the closest point on the
street from the parcel point. Default = disabled.
Note: This feature requires that a point-level
geocoding dataset is installed.
|
Use Centerline Offset | When set to true, calculates the centerline offset for point addresses. Default =
false. Supported only in forward geocoding. Note: The centerline feature requires
that you have a point-level geocoding dataset installed. A centerline point
match is indicated by a result code beginning with SC. |
Centerline Offset | When Use Centerline Offsetis enabled, this specifies the distance to offset the point from centerline. Default = 0. Supported in forward geocoding only. |
Centerline Offset Units | When Use Centerline Offset is enabled, this specifies the unit type for the centerline offset. Valid values = feet, meters. Default = meters. Supported only in forward geocoding. |
Street frontage | Returns the GNAF street frontage points. Default = disabled. You can locate this option on the Global Geocode and Global Reverse Geocode windows: check box. |
Force postal match | Results in a match when the postal code matches even though the city/suburb does not match. Default = disabled.> |

Custom Output Fields
Output Field | Description |
---|---|
StreetTypeAbbreviation | The abbreviation for the street type, which is spelled out by default. To include this field in the output, select check box |
OriginalLatitude | The original GNAF latitude. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
OriginalLongitude | The original GNAF longitude. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
UDOriginalLatitude | The original latitude returned from a point-based user dictionary. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
UDOriginalLongitude | The original longitude returned from a point-based user dictionary. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GNAFParcelIdentifier | The GNAF parcel identifier. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GNAFPersistentPID | The GNAF Persistent Identifier (GNAF PID) is a 14-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies each GNAF address. The PID is constructed from a combination of the major address fields of the GNAF Dictionary. An example of a GNAF PID is: GAACT718519668To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GNAFPrincipalPID | The Persistent Identifier of the principal address. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
Geocontainment | This specifies whether the returned coordinates are inside or outside the
address boundary. Values are YES for coordinates within, or NO for coordinates
outside the boundary. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GeoFeature | This field returns a geocode feature type if that was not provided in other
GNAF fields. GEOFEATURE corresponds to Geocode Types (GEOCODE_TYPE_AUT Codes) that
are described in the PSMA Data Product Description Version 2.7 (Aug. 2012). To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GNAFAddressClass | The GNAF address classification. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
GNAFSA1 | The GNAF Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1) identifier. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
LevelNumber |
The number of a floor or level in a multistory building. For example, Floor 2, 17 Jones Street The GNAF database includes level information for some Australian states. Level information may be associated with unit information, but not necessarily. If the GNAF database contains multiple records with the same level, the level information is returned only if the input address contains unique content (such as a unit number). If the GNAF dictionary has level information for an address, that information is returned with the matched candidate. The correct level information is returned (when available) even if the input address did not include level information, or if the input had the wrong level information. If the input address has level information but the GNAF database does not include level information for the matching address, then the input level information is discarded since it is not validated in the GNAF data. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
LevelType |
The label used for a floor of a multistory building. For example, "Level" or "Floor". In this example, the level type is "Level": Suite 3 Level 7, 17 Jones Street In this example, Suite 3 is a unit. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
LotNumber | Lot numbers are returned for GNAF candidates because some rural addresses do
not have adequate physical or house number information. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
MeshblockIdentifier | A Meshblock is the smallest geographic unit for which statistical data is
collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Meshblocks usually contain a
minimum of 20 to 50 households. This is about one fifth the size of a Collection
District (CD). You can use the Meshblock ID to do additional attributions against
your own data. To include this field in the output, select: check box. |
