This page was split from the List of localities (Victoria) page, which now deals with regional Victoria only.
Where, in general, would you say the 'centre' of a Melbourne suburb was?
I am thinking, if it has a train station, then the train station could be reasonably indicated to be the centre of the place.
Otherwise it tends to take a lot of looking, which for places like Lilydale, Croydon, Montrose, Kilsyth and Ringwood (all of which I have done adjacency tables) is hard to do.
Now I am also thinking that every Melbourne suburb has a town hall: well, the majority of them do.
Without this, some of them are turning out to be arrant nonsense.

Isn't Docklands now a Local Government Area in itself? That's certainly how it looks in the Melways. Ted BJ 06:54, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
An extensive table of Melbourne suburbs has been added at List of Melbourne suburbs/table, based on the suburbs you currently have listed. The quick primer on using it is this: Ideally everything in columns 1, 2, 5, and 6 should be blue; and everything in columns 3 and 4 should either be red, or if it is blue it should be checked to make sure that it is either a redirect page, or a disambig page that includes a link to the Melbourne suburb of the same name, or includes a "see also" link to the Melbourne suburb of that name. Hope this is useful to you! -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:25, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
I refer to most of the listings in the Shire of Cardinia and Shire of Mornington. Both shires no doubt border Melbourne Greater but the actual towns (eg. Koo Wee Rup, Lang Lang, Rosebud etc) are surrounded by farmland and in my opinion don't qualify as suburbs. -- Mopes 08:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and i'd like to add that i don't believe Mornington is a suburb of Melbourne. There is a distinct rural gap between residential Mount Eliza and residential Mornington. This list is quite off the mark as far as Peninsula towns are concerned. It is absurd to say that towns such as Red Hill, Shoreham, Main Ridge, Flinders etc are suburban Melbourne. Most Peninsula towns on Westernport are rural and have town centres, Hastings being the largest. But most of the Hastings area is rural. The centre of the town of Merricks is a general store, hardly suburban. If it is distance from the centre of Melbourne which is the criteria for suburban staus then Geelong should be a Melbourne suburb, rather than Portsea which is about 25 Km farther from Melbourne.
The Pakenham article says "The town is named after Sir Edward Pakenham, a British general who fought in the Peninsular War." Perhaps more famously, he was the Commander of the British North American Army and died in the Battle of New Orleans (and is mentioned in the American folk song "The Battle of New Orleans"). I am a complete newbie here, perhaps someone could edit the Pakenham article to hyperlink to the biographic article? {Sorry - I just noticed that it already does...my bad}
I recently came across the orphaned lists of Melbourne suburbs by letter and some of them haven't been touched in a while. Are these pages still useful?

the name of a suburb usually corresponds to the official postal district of a city
this is not strictly correct - if anything - it's the other way around. Australia Post postcodes are devised for the purposes of delivering mail and have been changed in recent years to align with suburb boundaries.
The entire metropolitan area of Brisbane is covered by a single municipal council
This is not correct - the statistical definition of Brisbane (the Brisbane Statistical Division) comprises a number of local government areas of which the City of Brisbane is one. These include Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and others. While the City of Brisbane covered the metropolitan area in the 1920s when it was created, it certainly doesn't any more.
