There is no "town centre" as such - no shop, no service station, no pub, no church which are the usual defining features. The only similar thing is the Community Hall. The area is currently listed in OSM as place=locality, should it be a hamlet, either as a node or an area? Springbrook https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4316622215#map=15/-28.2069/153.2700 has a population of ~600 & is the plateau on top of Springbrook Mountain. It has a general store, State (Primary) School, a pub & a few cafes, but, once again, no real "centre". It's also a place=locality, so should it be a hamlet? Thanks Graeme
