Hi,  
 
The source is on Github (search for mapoulette3 for the frontend / react code and maproulette2 for the backend / scala codebase) but you don't need to dig into that to simply create a challenge. You can log onto MapRoulette using your OSM account, and create a challenge using an Overpass query. I wrote a diary on how to do this a little while ago, https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/46863  
 
If you don't know any Overpass, I'm more than happy to set a Challenge of your preference up for you, or show you how to do it.  
 
I did in fact set up an 'add lanes' challenge for Queensland a little while ago, which you can find here: https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3376

It seems to be inconsistent, for example in South Australia there is pretty good (but not complete) coverage of admin_level=6 http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/EmZ and even one admin_level=8 (http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/En0) but in other states the admin_level=6 coverage is pretty sparse or absent (https://imgur.com/a/gmUJs2r, query at http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/En1 but watch out, it’s a lot of data). If you all think this is useful to fix / complete perhaps we can set up a page to coordinate. I’m happy to help.
