Precisely Address Fabric Australia
Build a trusted location foundation for your business
Precisely Address Fabric provides comprehensive, location-enabled address data for Australia, giving organisations a reliable foundation for location intelligence, analytics, customer data and AI.
The Spatial Distillery Co. is an Australian Precisely partner supplying Precisely Address Fabric and helping organisations integrate authoritative address data into their GIS, databases, analytics platforms and business applications.
More than an address list, Address Fabric provides a consistent view of known address locations, including geographic coordinates, property information, address relationships and a unique PreciselyID for each addressable location.
Better address data creates better location intelligence.
What is Precisely Address Fabric?
Precisely Address Fabric is a current and comprehensive inventory of known address locations.
Each record is associated with a real-world location and includes address and geographic information to help organisations understand where an address is and how it relates to other locations.
Importantly, the dataset can include physical locations that aren't necessarily deliverable through the postal system.
Address Fabric includes information such as:
Address details
Geographic coordinates
Location accuracy
Address relationships
Unique PreciselyID
This makes Address Fabric useful as a foundational location layer across an organisation
Australian Address Fabric
Precisely Address Fabric provides comprehensive address coverage across Australia, with more than 15 million address points.
The Australian dataset incorporates G-NAF Premium alongside additional data sources and processing to provide a consistent address and location dataset.
Address locations can be represented at different levels of geographic precision, including building-associated locations, house locations, street-interpolated locations, street centroids and postal centroids.
Coverage - Australia
Address points - 15+ million
Update frequency - Quarterly
Unique identifier - PreciselyID
Coordinates - Latitude & longitude
Address relationships - Parent / child
Location accuracy - Included
Delivery - All spatial file formats, Database-ready data
More than an address point
Address Fabric captures relationships between addresses and the locations they represent.
This includes parent/child relationships for locations such as:
Apartment buildings
Units
Suites
Secondary addresses
Other addresses associated with a primary location
This provides greater context than treating every address as an isolated record.
For organisations dealing with large customer databases, property portfolios, serviceable premises or complex locations, understanding these relationships can be particularly valuable.
Know how accurate your location is
Not every address coordinate represents the same level of geographic precision.
Address Fabric includes location type information that describes how an Australian address has been positioned.
Examples include:
Building footprint: associated with the building footprint
House location: positioned at the house location
Street interpolated: positioned using street address interpolation
Street centroid: positioned at the centre of the street
Postal centroid: positioned using postal information
Understanding the location type helps organisations assess the positional quality of their address data rather than treating every coordinate as equally precise.

Address Fabric and your AI strategy
Better AI starts with better data
Organisations are investing heavily in AI to automate processes, answer questions and support decision-making.
But AI is only as reliable as the data it can access.
If underlying customer, property or asset data contains inconsistent addresses, duplicate locations or unreliable geographic references, AI applications can produce equally unreliable results.
Trusted foundational data is therefore critical to building trustworthy AI.
Precisely Address Fabric can provide a reliable location foundation for AI applications by giving organisations a consistent way to identify and connect real-world locations.
For example, imagine asking an AI assistant:
"Which areas contain the greatest opportunity for our next network expansion?"
To answer that question effectively, the AI needs more than a customer database.
It needs to understand:
Who your customers are
Where they are
What locations and properties they relate to
What is around those locations
What geographic characteristics apply
Address Fabric provides an important location foundation for this type of analysis.
Trusted location data → better context → better analysis → better AI outcomes.
This is why authoritative location data should be considered part of your AI data strategy, not simply another GIS dataset.
