Suburbs And Localities (Australia)
Suburbs and localities are the names of geographic subdivisions in Australia, used mainly for address purposes. The term locality is used in rural areas, while the term suburb is used in urban areas.

Unlike the use in British or American English, this term can include inner-city, outer-metropolitan and industrial areas.
