Hi all,

Hi @jcalteryx 

 

Give the Allocate Input tool a try and see if one of the geographic categories is sufficient for your needs depending on how you define suburbs:

Prerequisite is the Business Insights or Location Insights data pack installed, but all of the polygons become available depending on what you select from this menu.

Try a using name lookups that include a combination of MCDs/CCDs (Cities and Towns) as well as Places and Other Name Places. Consider cross referencing the results from each geography to the other using Spatial Match.
