https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsuburb https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dtown I'd also go with suburb for places within Melbourne metropolitan area.

Re: [talk-au] Suburb, or Town?
I say suburb. If it is within a city or city metropolis, I'd say it's a suburb. Further, I'd say the mapper who changed the tag for Keilor Downs with the explanation "Changing place=suburb to place=town so that streets can be found in map in next map release" is seriously wrong. A town is a large settlement with homes and businesses but smaller than a city and not part of a city.

[talk-au] Suburb, or Town?
Hello, Hopefully this is a quick question! Should metropolitan suburbs be recorded as suburbs, or as towns? I've seen some contrasting approaches in the same city; compare Keillor Park, Melbourne with Keillor Downs, Melbourne. Which is correct, or are both acceptable?___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
