Geographical Names Creation & Maintenance Standard

This proposed standard is based on the draft Australian Addressing Creation & Maintenance Standard with which it will be aligned and cross-referenced.

This proposed standard will be dependent on the Geographical Names Model when it’s approved as a standard, much like the Addressing Creation & Maintenance Standard is dependent on the Address Model.

This proposed standard is rendered on, as it is being developed, at:
