      Hey, nothing like a last minute question.
      For Industrial … did people take the view that the local Post Office was a postal exchange? As per #50 on the Industrial Land Schedule in the Draft Bill. At this stage I have all Post Offices as Commercial thinking that a ‘postal exchange’ was a much bigger enterprise than the local postie. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

        Hi Cherie

        If these properties are owned by Australia Post and not subject to a lease they should be classified as Govt.

        If the property is privately owned and leased to Australia Post and used as a Postal exchange they should be industrial. Your local post office under the same circumstances would be Commercial Non Vacant.

        Hope this helps.

          Hey Robert
          Thanks for the reply, I better go check the ownership/lease situation of all our PO’s.

          In regard to definitions though, I think you’re saying a ‘postal exchange’ is not the same thing as a post office? Do you know of any examples of a postal exchange in Sydney? (I’m just seeking to understand what a postal exchange is if it is not a post office?). I know the big one in the CBD is called the Royal Exchange, I suppose that is one.

          Thanks again Robert

          Regards
          Cherie

                Not sure if it is common practise but Australia Post do not actually own any of the properties that they occupy in Rockdale so I have made all either commercial (the post office) or industrial (the exchange).

                  True Dave, of all 12 post offices (Post Shops) in the Randwick area Australia Post owns only one site.
