Rural Road Numbering is the style of property addressing used for rural and semi-rural areas in Western Australia.
Rural road numbers are allocated based on how far your property entrance (crossover/driveway) is from the nominated start of the road. Odd numbers are always allocated to the left side of the road and even numbers are allocated to the right. For example, a property numbered 327 would be located on the left-hand side of the road 3.27km from the start of the road.
This numbering was introduced to aid emergency services when responding to time-critical situations and service providers in locating rural and semi-rural properties more easily and efficiently. Residents are encouraged to apply for a rural road number if you own a rural property that is currently still using a lot number for addressing i.e. Lot 100 Rural Street.
