On a related note, what's the appropriate way to map suburb-sized areas that are partitions? A way for each suburb that share nodes along common borders, a way for each suburb that don't duplicate nodes along common borders, or using a single way for the border and using a relation?

I might express and opinion about suburb mapping as I’ve done a fair bit of “mapping for the validator” which I suppose is not evil, unlike mapping for the renderer.

I’d prefer relations that depend on single ways, this avoids JOSM complaining too much about duplicate ways and can also tie into the definition in words that might belong in Wikipedia.

This (and Ian's) sounded like pretty good advice, so I have uploaded a boundary for Randwick based on Andrew's OSM version of the ABS SSC_2011_AUST, checked and manually adjusted by eyeballing Bing vs SIX and the Council's PDF map, and simplified by hand.

The changeset is here: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22023461>, does anyone have any comments about how it could be improved?

I noticed that as for many suburbs in SA, since I replaced the place=suburb node previously used the name of the suburb is no longer rendered. What's best practice here, do we really want to different entities with the same name?
