In KyleHaynes/gnaf.r: Import the (Australian) Geocoded - National Address File (G-NAF) in to R.
gnaf.r
An R package to assist with the downloading / importing / manipulation of the (Australian) Geocoded - National Address File (G-NAF).
Addresses are a cultural artefact, created from language rather than rules and legislation *
What is G-NAF?
G-NAF is Australia's most trusted authoritative (g)eocoded - (n)ational (a)ddress (f)ile.
More from: https://psma.com.au/product/gnaf/
PSMA's G-NAF dataset contains all physical addresses in Australia. It's the most trusted source of geocoded addresses for Australian businesses and governments.
Before use, users should read the G-NAF End User Licence Agreement
Where to get G-NAF?
G-NAF is released on a quarterly basis and is available from here.
Dependencies required for this package
- Downloaded copy of G-NAF. Available from here.
- Depending on the function call used, RAM.
- Recommend at least 32GB to build the entire country (as of the February 2020 extract, the largest function call will result in a object of 15.2M x 52 variables, ~10Gb RAM)
- However, importing a single jurisdiction can be as little as a few hundred Mbs.
Installation of the package
Please note, the package is not on CRAN.
Installing from GitHub:
# Install `remotes` if it isn't already installed.
if(!any(installed.packages()[,1] == "remotes")) install.packages("remotes")
# Install the `gnaf.r` package.
remotes::install_github("KyleHaynes/gnaf.r")
Basic usage
Prerequisite steps
The following three steps can be completed manually or with the function call get_gnaf() (see below example).
- Download G-NAF from data.gov.au: https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-19432f89-dc3a-4ef3-b943-5326ef1dbecc/details?q=G-NAF
- NOTE: File size is ~1.5GB compressed / ~7.7GB uncompressed.
- Extract the content of the compressed download to a desired location.
- Note down the location of the extracted directory (and the sibling month/year folder). E.g. "C:/temp/G-NAF/G-NAF FEBRUARY 2020".
From R
# Load the package.
library("gnaf.r")
# Steps 1-3 in the `Prerequisite steps` section above can be completed from within R.
# Note: If G-NAF is already downloaded, you can skip this function call.
# Download and unpack G-NAF to the "c:/temp/" folder.
get_gnaf(dest_folder = "c:/temp")
# Verbose output example:
# ------------------
# The download is approximately 1.5Gb, depending on your internet speed, the
# following may take a while.
# The G-NAF zip file is currently being downloaded to: C:\temp\feb20_gnaf_pipeseparatedvalue.zip
# ------------------
# G-NAF has been download and is now uncompressing.
# ------------------
# You can now call the `setup()` to begin the initial setup of G-NAF. Be sure to toggle the
# `states` argument to only import relevant jurisdictions.
# Example setup call: setup(dir = "C:\\temp\\G-NAF\\G-NAF NOVEMBER 2020", states = "qld")
# Setup the session before importing G-NAF. This step has two primary purposes.
# 1. Define the location of the G-NAF (month year) root path (./G-NAF <MONTH> <YEAR>).
# 2. Define which jurisdictions to import (case insensitive regex on State abbreviations).
setup(dir = "C:/temp/G-NAF/G-NAF NOVEMBER 2020", states = "qld")
# Import G-NAF for Queensland.
