Blocks of land were approximately 2 acres, and addresses consisted of Lot numbers. Expansion saw the addition of more streets, and a second entrance via Terranova Drive. Newer lots sold were only 1 acre in size, and lots were assigned street numbers. The postcode was originally 4702, but is now 4711 after being recognised as an official locality.[ citation needed ]
