I say suburb. If it is within a city or city metropolis, I'd say it's a suburb.
Further, I'd say the mapper who changed the tag for Keilor Downs with the explanation "Changing place=suburb to place=town so that streets can be found in map in next map release" is seriously wrong. A town is a large settlement with homes and businesses but smaller than a city and not part of a city.
