Taken to the extreme councils are subject to the governance by the State 
of New South Wales.
For example the amalgamation of councils, placing certain councils into 
governance by an unelected official all done by the State Government.

These 'unincorporated areas' have some part of the gobermint 
administering them ... as such the have an entity preforming at least 
some of the actions of a 'local council' (building approvals for example).
The most logical place to have that data in under the 'local government' 
section.
