RAPID number application

Use this application form if you want to apply for a Rural Address Property Identification System (RAPID) number in Buller.

A RAPID number is a standard numbering system for rural properties based on the distance to a property entrance from a clearly defined reference point, usually the beginning of the road on which it is located.

To supply a RAPID number Council needs accurate information to identify the property and its location. Complete the RAPID number application form and mark the entrance to the property on the sketch or site plan which forms part of your application.

If producing a map is a problem, contact us for assistance. You can also use our paper form.

Numbers will be allocated as soon as possible, if the application has been completed correctly and all relevant information has been supplied to Council.

For more information see our Rura Address Identification System (RAPID) Customer Information.

Please ensure you have a fence post at the property entrance.
