Well, I'd probably do something like for qualified DC (not sure it's
100% correct...): 

<dc:coverage>
  <dcterms:TNG>
    <rdf:value>7001977</rdf:value>
    <rdf:label>Perth</rdf:label>
    <rdf:seeAlso>http://vocab.pub.getty.edu/cgi-bin/tgn_browser/tgn.spl?key=7001977&searchtype=record&file=/tgn_browser/index.html</rdf:seeAlso>
    <rdf:subPropertyOf>
       <rdf:value>7001834</rdf:value>
       <rdf:label>Western Australia</rdf:label>
       <rdf:seeAlso>http://vocab.pub.getty.edu/cgi-bin/tgn_browser/tgn.spl?key=7001834&searchtype=record&file=/tgn_browser/index.html</rdf:seeAlso>
    </rdf:subPropertyOf>
  </dcterms:TNG>
</dc:coverage>  

For unqualified I guess you could just use:

  <dc:coverage>Perth, W.A.</dc:coverage>

Perhaps this would be best asked on the DC General list:
