Talk:Aldgate, South Australia

Suburb?
How can this place be both a town and an Adelaide suburb? The cited source merely quotes a real-estate figure, someone who's an expert at selling property but not someone who's an expert in local government or political geography. The phrase "town and suburb" sounds much more like a US meaning of suburb (i.e. a satellite town surrounding the big city) than the Australian sense.

The state government's suburb map has Aldgate marked as a suburb, but Angas Valley and Wynarka are treated likewise (as are remote locations like Olympic Dam), together with every other spot in the state. (Apparently they're treated like the localities mentioned in Suburbs and localities (Australia).) We really ought to have a citation from a reliable source, not merely a real-estate salesman, before proclaiming this an Adelaide suburb. Nyttend (talk) 01:02, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That source refers to Aldgate as a "Hills suburb", which leads me to wonder whether they were simply conflating Adelaide suburbs with Adelaide Hills suburbs. --Gronk Oz (talk) 04:16, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Local government areas of South Australia lists the Adelaide Hills LGA as being part of "Metropolitan Adelaide", which is supported by the LGA.SA government web site here. So Aldgate is a suburb in the Adelaide Hills LGA, which in turn is in Adelaide Metro.  That sounds to me like it qualifies as being a suburb of Adelaide.--Gronk Oz (talk) 04:35, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
