Rubbish sparse-sounding Melbourne suburb (7)

I believe the answer is:

bulleen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'melbourne suburb' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rubbish sparse-sounding' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'bull' (both can mean nonsense).
'sparse-sounding' becomes 'een' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bull'+'een'='BULLEEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

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