Editing Suburb (section)

=== Australia ===

Large cities like Sydney and Melbourne had [[streetcar suburbs]] in the tram era. With the automobile, the Australian usage came about as outer areas were quickly surrounded in fast-growing cities, but retained the appellation ''suburb''; the term was eventually applied to neighborhoods in the original core as well. In Australia, Sydney's urban sprawl has occurred predominantly in the [[Greater Western Sydney|Western Suburbs]]. The locality of [[Olympic Park, Sydney|Olympic Park]] was designated an official suburb in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NSW Place and Road Naming Proposals System|url=https://proposals.gnb.nsw.gov.au/public/geonames/56318973-3b24-47d1-91d0-cd6051507bbe|access-date=2022-01-24|website=proposals.gnb.nsw.gov.au}}</ref>
