  1. Steve Bennett says

    There’s at least one indisputable error, “Reserve” should not abbreviate to “REST”. Not sure if it should be “RESV” or “RSV” or similar.

  2. I cant find Cncd anywhere. We have a street name called Wanderer Cncd. Even google maps says Cncd. I thought it might be for Conduit, but theres too many Cs. I have no idea. In a recent food delivery reciept it came up as Concourse, but when we looked it up the Concourse didnt exist. Any ideas? I could ask council!

  3. Darmys Asagiri says

    If you’re looking for abbr for addressing needs you’ll need to use Auspost’s list which can be found here

  4. What does the abbreviation GR mean on a street sign?

  5. Marco Giuras says

    Great work. It solved a cracking dilemma for me 🙂

  6. Just realised, CONC is also acceptable such as with North, South and East Concourse in Beaumaris

  7. WLK should also be included Walk, as in Abbey Walk, Point Cook

  8. for those you want a more comprehensive and accurate list. Here’s one from Telstra https://www.telstrawholesale.com.au/download/document/street-type-abbreviations.pdf

  9. RMBL ramble

  10. Why is my street called a reach

  11. Hi,
    what about abbreviations such as:
    LK; LP; PSS; PWY; R; RI; RT; TR?

    Also, some of the abbreviations you list are incorrect – refer to barcoding guidelines by Australia Post.
    cheers
