<p dir="ltr">I guess the thing to consider is how you would handle a second import if someone had edited the data in OSM in between.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I think this kind of conflict would be very difficult to resolve. You could either plan to do a 1-off import, or maybe include a tag on the imported data matching a unique identifier for the same feature in the vicmap data. The US Tiger import did something like this.</p>

<div>Once the licensing is squared away, we can move onto discussing techniques of importing the data. "Snapshot" data in shp format is available from <a href="http://data.vic.gov.au" target="_blank">data.vic.gov.au</a>. Alternatively a vicmap provides a live feed to weekly data diffs directly. Any advice on how to import this data is much appreciated.</div>
