Would have to be done "on the ground" in that local area

Possibly in Notes? Maybe the Oz Data Catalogue page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_data_catalogue or similar?

  What if they change their minds?

Then I think we would need to delete the entries, similar to the way that
you can request your premises not be shown on Google Maps. I have seen a
comment on the Tagging list that some town in the US requested that all
it's minor streets be deleted from all online maps to prevent rat-runners
from driving down them!

I would hope that people have done things "properly". As mentioned though,
if the site is advertised / signposted, then it's fine to map. But if
you're walking in the Kimberley & find a cave full of paintings, then you
should ask for approval before mapping them. This was discussed a while
back about mapping a track up in that area, but I can't find the reference
in the archives

I don't know? I'll post the question on the Tagging list.
