Warrimoo is NOT a suburb in Ku-ring-gai. Waitara is.

nope, not according to the nsw department of local government (who should know), warrimoo is part of ku-ring-gai, waitara is part of hornsby shire. clarkk

Warrimoo in blue mountains[edit]

Agreed that Waitara is in Hornsby shire.

Warrimoo is in blue mountains, not even close.

See List of Sydney railway stations

Reason for Warrimoo error[edit]

Warrawee postcode 2074

Warrimoo postcode 2774

Names and postcodes very similar - easy to confuse!

West/East Lindfield[edit]

I wonder if adding seperate articles for West and East Lindfield was necessary? I see there is now also an East Roseville and East Killara article (among many others). Considering the size of the suburb of Lindfield I wonder whether there is much point creating so many new articles when the information could probably be included in the main article of Lindfield (and Roseville etc). I do not think there is a large difference between West and East Lindfield's geography. -- MxAesir 05:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the geographical area is quite large, but really there is only one centre of town, so it would make sense to leave it as is. Besides, the postcode is the same. (Huey45 (talk) 13:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

East Lindfield is a separate suburb, gazetted by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales, so it has its own article.
West Lindfield isn't, so it doesn't.[1] --Gronk Oz (talk) 12:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References please?[edit]

Could somebody add a reference to support the description of the housing in the area? quote:

The "garden suburb" of 7.21 square kilometres features residential housing of californian bungalow and federation style, double brick and tile construction

maybe, the domain website can be used? Garrie 01:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where to source the area of the suburb[edit]

The following notes are copied from the Australian Wikipedians' notice board, looking at the options for different sources of this information. Please consider these before making any changes to it, and discuss here.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times, but I can't find it so please find it in your hearts to forgive one more:

I was looking at Lindfield,_New_South_Wales. The Infobox says that the area is 5.17 km2, but the second paragaph starts "This suburb of 7.21 square kilometres..." I never knew where to source this information about the area of a suburb, and now I need it to resolve this discrepancy - is there a standard place to find it? --Gronk Oz (talk) 12:59, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The suburb areas on Wikipedia are usually from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census data. It's not in the QuickStats but in the Community Profile Excel files which says Lindfield is 5.1 km2 in area. I'm not sure but my guess would be the higher area may be including East Lindfield which according to the ABS is around 2.4 km2. The 7.21 figure seems to be from here, the Ku-ring-gai Council website—East Lindfield is not listed on the suburbs in the local government area on that page so I would guess the Council has counted them together. --Canley (talk) 13:36, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Oh yeah, it is 7.51 as Gnangarra says, which pretty much exactly matches the ABS areas of Lindfield and East Lindfield (5.1 + 2.4 = 7.5). The 7.21 may be a typo? --Canley (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
It's important to remember that the ABS areas are based on their census collection districts which often don't match the gazetted locality. Lindfield is one of these cases.[1] At that link the gazetted locality is in red, whil the ABS are is in blue. SIX maps is the authoritative reference for locality borders in NSW. To find a particular suburb, once the application opens, click on the drop-down box and select "Advanced" search, click on the "Suburb" tab and type in the name of the suburb you're looking for. I just checked Lindfield and came up with an area of 5.187 km2. You're never going to get an exact area because of the way the suburbs are measured. Lindfield's borders follow (generally) the centre of the river and that alone causes measurement errors because the centre of the river isn't always obvious. You actually have to take two areas into account; the actual area and the ABS' area. The latter has to be used to calculate the population density. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:11, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Don't forget the real estate industry's area. It often differs considerably from reality, but because buyers prefer the name of the suburb they like to think they have bought in, it tends to eventually become reality in some cases. HiLo48 (talk) 00:45, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for all the answers and links! I may have been a bit naive to think there would be a single preferred source. I suspected that East Lindfield might be the difference, and this information supports that. So for now I will use the ABS figure for consistency, with a reference to show where I got it from. I will also copy this disucssion over to the Talk page, in case somebody else has the same problem. Thanks again!--Gronk Oz (talk) 03:38, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
