Comments:Where suburb/town/locality, state/territory and Postcode - Australian are insufficient to assign a Statistical Local Area (SLA) code from the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (Australian Bureau of Statistics, Cat. No. 1216.0), the Street name metadata item in conjunction with street type, house/property identifier and street suffix should also be used.
