The Sydney Suburbs Quiz, as promised, is now live. Just in time for lockdown...

Caveats:

Suburbs only include gazetted localities within the contiguous metropolitan area of Melbourne and contain families living in urban environments. Localities including Ravenhall, Somerton and Moorabbin Airport are excluded for these reasons.

Each section is divided by local government area in ascending order of proximity to Flinders Street Station.

The suburbs within each section are ordered alphabetically.

Duplicates between local government areas are removed and suburbs are allocated by the largest portion of the suburbs' areas.

Fantastic quiz! Would be great, though difficult I'd imagine, for someone to make an equivalent quiz for Sydney (said by a true Sydneysider!)

How about regional Victoria?

Sep 14, 2021
Do you mean regional centres, or the entirety of Victoria? Might be a bit ambitious with 2,929 state suburbs!

Level 56

Maybe make a quiz with both Melbourne suburbs and regional zones like outside of Metropolitan Melbourne. Probably add Gazetted localities aswell.

I got 52/339. I can't imagine actually being able to name all 339. I can only really do Kingston, Bayside and other random suburbs!
+1
Level 57
Sep 20, 2023
My best is 221, mainly because I can get all of Brimbank, Wyndham, Melton and most of Moonee Valley and Hume because I live that way. I can get most of the well-known eastern suburbs but I always end up forgetting a lot.

Only reason I scored 26 was because I know the AFL and some VFL teams. Great Quiz though! Wish this type of Quiz existed for Brisbane.

Melbourne has expanded! Two more suburbs added - see if you can find them...

Level 14
May 23, 2020
Excellent quiz, quite difficult too.

It is missing a few suburbs, namely the new suburbs in the West.

Level 43
May 25, 2020
Which exactly?
+3
Level 14
May 26, 2020
Aintree, Bonnie Brook, Cobblebank, Deanside, Diggers Rest, Grangefields, Harkness, Kurunjang, Melton, Melton South, Mount Atkinson, Strathtulloh, Sunbury, Tarneit Plains, Thornhill Park, Weir Views would be inside the UGB. They were not listed. Prolly a few others as well that I cannot remember at the moment.

Level 43

As mentioned elsewhere, the UGB isn't a particularly useful definition of Metropolitan Melbourne given that it would have to include various gazetted localities that you would be fairly hard-pressed to call suburbs of Melbourne. As defined by Planning Victoria themselves: "The urban growth boundary (UGB) indicates the long-term limits of urban development and where non-urban values and land uses should prevail in metropolitan Melbourne". This is why is have only included suburbs that are part of a contiguous growth and have urban housing. I think it's good to stick to strict guidelines of what is and isn't part of Metropolitan Melbourne otherwise you run into the meme of "well Bacchus Marsh is part of Melbourne, nah actually Albury is part of Melbourne, nah actually Sydney is part of Melbourne."

As a good example, I recently added Manor Lakes and Mickleham as the contiguous growth extending from Wyndham Vale and Greenvale respectively has extended that far.

Just came across this quiz recently and spent a bit of time on suburbs that supposedly don’t exist. Melton and Melton South have been suburbs of Melbourne for 50 years. Why would you include fledgling suburbs within the Melton city council region but not the central suburbs themselves?
+3
Level 14
Jun 11, 2020
That's fair to some extent. What's your thoughts on Mambourin? It's recently started to develop (due to contiguous growth from Wyndham Vale) but I'm guessing it's not far enough through yet for inclusion?
+4
Level 43
Jun 30, 2020
That's a great question. Mambourin is very soon to be included once it is populated and the suburb boundary does not change. There's a chance there might be another Greenvale/Yuroke problem of the boundary slowly being extended west to accommodate growth. In any case, I'm keeping a watchful eye over that whole Wyndham Vale region!
+3
Level 43
Jun 30, 2020
Also, if you're interested, I am in the process of updating the quiz to accommodate the new-ish boundaries for City of Melton since Fraser Rise now exists and Plumpton has been pushed further out.
+3
Level 43
Aug 12, 2022
Residents have officially moved into Mambourin so it is now included in the quiz.

340/341. Damn you Eumemmerring!

Based on the exclusion of other locations (ie. Somerton) I think Tottenham should also be greyed out.
+3

Sep 14, 2021
This is fair enough! Definitely an oversight when making this quiz. I'll fix this shortly :)

Melbourne has expanded once more. Quiz updated after an SVG error with Fraser Rise/Carrum and excludes Tottenham given its lack of anyone living there. Shout out to the eagle-eyed orange14 for pointing this out.

I have a feeling that Deanside should be added as people live there now (I have seen the area, it's growing very quickly!). Other than that it is a great quiz, the best I got was 216.

Thanks for making this. I was looking for such a quiz, which lead me to this amazing site. I wish Knox was included, but I understand that it's more in the outer regions.

Knoxfield is included.

Moreland has changed its name to Merri-bek.
+2
Level 33
Nov 30, 2023
It has yes but Merri-bek is not itself a suburb, it is a local government area.

Hi Quizmaker, would you say that by your definition, Devon Meadows, (To the south) Kalorama and Mount Dandenong (To the east) would classify as Suburbs?
+1
Level 79
Dec 28, 2023
Mount Dandenong is a mountain not a suburb, I think you are talking about Olinda?
+2
Level 38
Jan 2, 2024
Wouldn't you say Mount Dandenong has a residential area north and south of the mountain coming from Kalorama and to Olinda?
