Busy-road segments
/v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/shapes/busy-roads10¢ per callBusy-road line segments clipped to the suburb — the report's road-noise exposure proxy.
Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.
Price: 10¢ per call.

Path parameters
suburb_namestringrequiredExact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. `Burwood (NSW)` — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call `GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>`, then use the exact `data[].area_name` it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.
Query parameters
geojsonbooleanoptionalWhen false, geometry is dropped — every Feature keeps its `properties` but its `geometry` is null. Use it to fetch the counts and per-feature attributes without the coordinates (default true — response unchanged).
