Good questions - will certainly try to find the answers.<br>

I've read that, and noticed a similar effort on a smaller scale <br>
i.e. Melbourne City <br>
(<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/data.melbourne.vic.gov.au-addresses" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/data.melbourne.vic.gov.au-addresses</a>). However <br>
according to the Import Catalogue <br>
(<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue</a>) it started <br>
in 2016-12 and is still in the stage of "Planning".<br>
n<br>
Does anyone have some context on that project, e.g. what happened <br>
to it?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
