These suburbs allow you to break the location down into smaller locales. Suburbs can be used to: - Show clients what suburbs you service - Set up different length public booking restrictions for specific suburbs. e.g. a minimum 2 hour booking for a suburb that's further than your usual travel area. - Please note this restriction is only enforced when clients themselves make this booking, not you as a BookingTimes system user. - Some additional suburb features are available on other plans: This feature is available on these plans ([view pricing](https://bookingtimes.com/prices)) **Kick Starter** **Nail & Scale** - Filtering and restrict bookings based on a suburb: see [Filter your bookings page by location](/v2/docs/filtering-your-bookings-page-by-location) article - Restricting services and staff to a suburb: see [Restricting services and staff to a suburb](/v2/docs/restricting-services-and-staff-to-a-suburb) article This article will detail how to add suburbs to your location, and set up a suburb booking restrictions. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image%28789%29.png) ## Adding suburbs ### Steps 1.
