Description: The Postcode Boundaries dataset is the definitive set of postcodes developed by Australia Post and PSMA Australia. Postcodes are allocated to geographic areas to facilitate the efficient processing and delivery of mail to customers. The current four digit numeric postcode system was introduced in 1967 in association with the first mechanised mail processing centre in Australia. The government land administration agencies in each state and territory are responsible for gazetting locality names and boundary positions. Postcodes are only allocated to localities officially gazetted by land agencies. In the majority of circumstances, a postcode covers an area comprising of more than one locality. The decision as to whether a new postcode or an existing postcode is to be allocated to a locality is based on operational efficiency. Issues that underpin the decision are critically analysed; these include the configuration of the Australia Post network, transportation connections and delivery arrangements.
