The
Americans also include a topographic map, but I don't know if such a thing is available for Australia. If it is, or if there are any other resources that should be included in this template, please feel free to add them in. A primary advantage of using this Template for your suburb page is that
153:
The ABS website is a very hard to navigate - so to find the right document, search google for POA2234 (replace "2234" with the right postcode for your suburb). Then you can either download the data for AUS$ 10, or the ABS site will let you download it for free if the computer you are using is in a
220:
Don't let this hold you back, however! If you have more information than what is on this page then please, by all means add it! Also, if you only have a bit of information about the suburb, then please add it to the page and use the template below to mark it as a suburb stub.
242:
The following is a general list of Sydney suburbs that may or may not meet the above criteria. It may be a good place to start to help with a semi-complete article than to start a completely new one. However don't let this put you off starting from scratch!
566:
There is an
Australian suburb-mapping template, based on the stuff the Americans have been doing (and which will soon be added to all or most of the RamBot articles). This template only needs a longitude and a latitude, and you can see an example of it
622:
Longitude and latitude figures from the above data sources are usually reasonably close (within 1/2 kilometre), although you might have to adjust them a little bit to make sure they're spot-on to the suburb's centre.
585:
Sensis (as "Street Map 2", kept because it lets you zoom in much further than Ausway does) - I know, two street maps, which is redundant, but they've both got good points, so they're complementary
596:
if additional resources are added, then you don't have to do or change anything, as you will now automatically have links to the correct maps or photos included when the template is updated.
233:- this meets all the requirements, plus has images of significant landmarks (all licensed under the GFDL). This is our current example article due to its high quality and attention to detail.
572:
216:
Optional: Politics (local issues, what state and federal electorate the suburb is in, who are the current local members, is it a safe Labor seat/safe Libs seat/marginal seat).
198:
Information about any prominent local organisations (churches, historical societies, local clubs, etc). If you prefer, you can just include links to local organisations in an
195:
A reference section. All facts need to be attributable to an external source of information (say a newspaper report/cutting, book about the town, local council document).
606:. Type SUB is a suburb, LOCB is a town (many are now suburbs anyway), and LOCU is much the same, but doesn't have gazetted legal boundaries.
540:
95:
146:: getting a good map under an acceptable copyright / license is not currently very easy, but attempts are being made to improve this.
599:
For getting approximate longitude and latitude for most
Australian suburbs, you have 3 choices, listed in order of preference:
568:
188:
Notable citizens who were born or lived in the suburb (optional, but if they existed then they should be in the article).
185:
A more complete section on the suburb's history (e.g. notable historical events, times when the suburb grew quickly, etc).
