Outlying district of a city (6)

I believe the answer is:

suburb

(Other definitions for suburb that I've seen before include "Area on the periphery of a city" , "Outlying city district" , "Area on the outskirts of a city" , "Present (bill); melt down (fat)" , "Residential urban district" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
