As I've written in other emails, I'm looking at this as a means to an end, and the main focus should be on what would a local entity do for OSM in Australia.

As you've pointed out there is numerous reasons for doing this, I've thought about the LGA (council) problem, if they are adding on to GeoSciences Australia (ga.gov.au) data and if that costs them money a lot of councils now are actually quite vulnerable due to bad investments and they could see this as a good way to save a stack of money.

Just thinking out loud :)
