How is a RAPID number assigned to me?
Your RAPID number is based on the distance in metres your property is from the beginning of the road.
The distance is measured from the start of the road (to the nearest 10 metres) to the centre of the driveway to your house.
The final measurement is divided by 10 and rounded to a whole number.
Numbers on the right side of the road are even; those on the left are odd. For example:
- A property located 642 meters from the start of the road would be numbered 64 if on the right side of the road or 65 if on the left side of the road.
- If there is more than one dwelling off a driveway then a letter e.g. A, B, or C is added. The first house along the driveway will be A, the second B, etc.
- If you have a shared driveway, you can request an additional plate to put on the house. The primary plate must remain at the entrance to the property.
