Hi Chris,

I'm not doubting or disagreeing with you that these are illegally constructed and closed to the public. I would just like to see OpenStreetMap data accurately reflect the ground truth and I advocate mapping these in OSM as closed or disassembled tracks in a way that allows downstream applications to omit it from their maps.

It's certainly not because we want to have these tracks showing as open for use, I can't see anyone in the community advocating for that.

I suggest Parks Victoria join in the community channels such as the mailing list https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au or the community forum https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/oceania/73 to contribute to how this situation is handled. We have some guidelines at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Cycling_and_Foot_Paths#Legal_Access but there's always scope to improve them.
