That's a shame. A couple of years ago I had an email conversation with someone from the Lands Department and got permission to 'Derive Suburb Boundaries' - however when I thought about the conversation more deeply I came to the conclusion that it probably wasn't ok as he had probably got a bogus

Hi. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to mark suburb boundaries (in areas that have them)? The closest thing I can find is boundary=administrative at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary but I haven't seen this used anywhere. London uses this to mark boroughs (equivalent to council
