An address is a textual representation of a physical or virtual point for the purposes of either identifying a physical parcel of land on the land surface of the earth or as a communication channel to a recipient. An address may refer to items other than a physical point such as an email address.
A single point may have many textual addresses associated with it. These can be different ways of representing the official address or, in the case of Private Estates, a way of addressing the internal structure of the Estate.
Many attributes may also be associated with an address. For example, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block/ Collector District, Business or Private use, Electoral district(s), Latitude and Longitude of are also attributes to an address.
