There is currently limited correlation between the state jurisdiction official gazetted suburb and localities, and the localities listed by Australia Post on its website to describe the delivery area for a postcode. The gazetted suburb and localities are formally recognised boundaries defined by state government, while Australia Post's localities can include these, but also incorporate local and alias locality names. (Some of these names are historical but many are also created internally by Australia Post to facilitate mail delivery.)
