Lake Macquarie suburbs question After noticing an inconsistency in whether Lake Macquarie suburbs claimed to be in Lake Macquarie or Newcastle I had been editing them to be more consistent and chose Lake Macquarie as the obvious more accurate choice Up until I came across an old hidden comment inside one suburb saying to stop changing it to say Lake Macquarie which led me to several archived talk pages including yours mostly concerning population counts Are you aware of any consensus on this issue It seems to me that for the purposes of suburb articles unless you are calling most of the Hunter a suburb of newcastle you need to draw a line somewhere and the LGA boundaries are the only real place to do it which wouldn t be personal opinion And the fact that Newcastle is still given as the nearby CBD should make things clear
