according to relation/5627375 the post code is 2113 where did 2109 come from for here?

addr:country is not needed, it can be derived from the existing admin boundaries.

167718089

the postcode boundary at relation/16354215 says otherwise, is the postcode boundary wrong?

167720870

Did the suburbs change recently? relation/11675694 exists as "North Toowoomba" and the address suburb is usually inherited from this.

hi, Google Street View can't be used to derived data from adding to OSM, see osm.wiki/Google

There are street imagery providers you can use including Bing Streetside and Mapillary, these are available from within the iD editor, but these don't show any max weight signs.

If you're making this edit based on your ground survey that's okay.

hi and welcome to OSM.

When you say "Shared Path", shared between who? Pedestrians and cyclists? Can the public drive their car, or only maintenance vehicles or no one can drive?

Because your tags aren't quite right. highway=path implies you can't drive but you have motor_vehicle=designated which means this is explicitly signposted for vehicles to use.

it's not considered good practice to use the name tag to describe things see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

If you want to provide a description to map users it's best to use the description=* tag description=*

otherwise you can use tags like sac_scale=demanding_mountain_hiking to describe sections you need to use your hands to get through sac_scale=*

Is way/1056843378 commercial? If so what kind of commercial, offices? Because now we have building=commercial + residential=apartments which can't go together.

According to https://www.tollambulancerescue.com.au/news/our-bases/bankstown/ "The Bankstown Base also includes The ACE Training Centre" so should be place the "ACE Training Centre" feature as a node inside relation/13778946/history ?

I've mapped the Toll Rescue Helicopter base as a osm.wiki/Tag%3Aemergency%3Dair_rescue_service as a node at node/12908879644 inside but think we maybe should swap them?

looks good

I'm not from the ACT, but if there are a few houses where people live here then that seems ok. There is place=isolated_dwelling but it looks like there are 5 houses here so hamlet is probably correct.

There is the District of Booth at relation/11911812 but that's just the district admin boundary, the place=hamlet can and should exist too.

It's possible mark this place=hamlet node as the centre of the district boundary, but I'm not familiar with the local situation to comment.

I'll leave them. I looked through the original contribution and it seems they were mostly from Strava surfing heatmaps, which is mostly just mapping the popular surfing spots. It just seemed odd seeing them mapped but the more I think about it the more I think it's reasonable.

167377447

near the fire hydrants, or on the fire escape maps throughout the building or sometimes within lifts are good places to look

167377447

It's okay, it happens. While it's nice to try and keep the history it's not essential, one can still attempt to reconstruct it via a lookup of the changeset looking at the deleted node's tags and the tags on the way.

167333352

Thanks, fair enough.

167333352

pretty much every beach along the coastline has opportunities for surfing, unless it's it has a specific local name you'd like to map should we really be adding sport=surfing off each beach?

furthermore, the "water" here is already mapped via the coastline, so we shouldn't double up with natural=water

167369256

hi, please don't map for the renderer see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_for_the_renderer

moving the way to from it's true location just to improve the cartography isn't good practice in OSM, this is left to the cartography software to decide where it ultimately draws the ways, for example it could decide to offset the way in it's processing to solve this.

coincidentally I had just "fixed" the road alignments just now before noticing they were shifted in this changeset.

167377447

ah I can see you did that sometimes here, sorry I just saw the ones you didn't first.

167377447

In JOSM, under the More Tools menu there is a "Replace Geometry" tool, which when you select for example a node and a way will automatically move the tags from the node to the way, place the node as one of the way nodes (which helps with retaining the link between the node and way in the history). It's preferable to use that where possible over just deleting the node.

167378043

Did you recently survey this? When I did in June 2024 the new building at way/1296216101 was still under construction but there seemed to be a driveway (the one you deleted here) running parallel to the other road (the one you made oneway). Just wanted to check if things have changed on the ground since then.

Shared path as shared with pedestrians, off the street where the footpath would be? If so you'd need to at a minimum add foot=yes to say pedestrians are allowed, then segregated=no to imply that pedestrians and cyclists share the same space.
