When I use the in-browser editor iD, and create a building outline to tag, it offers up addr:city as a tag, but not addr:suburb
Of course, I can add a new tag addr:suburb easily enough, but it is a couple more steps. So the path of least resistance is to populate the tag addr:city and leave blank addr:suburb Personally, I am leaning towards addr:city = Coorparoo as it fits the convention of addressing letters as you point out. But I'd like to adhere to the established convention in Australia.

Nicholas, generally, when addressing an envelope for example, we'd say - somestreet, Coorparoo, Queensland, postcode We'd reserve the use of "Brisbane" to an address in the CBD itself. Or so I think... Apply the same principle here do you think ?
