What are the preferred tags for these areas?

In the past at least some of these were called "State Recreation Areas" and had recreation as their primary goal, with secondary goals of conservation.

Now, quoting from http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/conservation-and-heritage/state-conservation-areas, they have;

"State conservation areas are lands reserved to protect and
conserve significant or representative ecosystems, landforms, natural
phenomena or places of cultural significance. They provide opportunities
  for sustainable visitation, public enjoyment, and research.

The main difference between the management, objectives
and principles of national parks and state conservation areas is that
mineral and petroleum exploration and mining may be permitted in state
conservation areas."

I have

boarder=protected_area

name=* Conservation Area

website=*

and may add things like landcover=trees, natural=wood etc as appropriate ...

Any other thoughts?

I don't think they should be tagged as National Parks ..

Possible inclusions

leisure=nature_reserve
