Restrict users seeing other users based on fields

We need to create a site that only allows members to see other members if a certain field matches and were wondering if there was a plugin or way to do this with Buddypress.

The users will have a field called suburb and we want only people with the same suburb selected when they register to see each other and not be able to see anyone with a different suburb selected.

Is this possible to do.

I think it’s doable, but with quite a bit of customisation. For example in the members loop you would need to overload this file and change it to include a field match check before displaying the members list in order to only display the right members to the user.

You might also approach this with member types: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/member-types/
