Probably a different section. And the government may be in 'caretaker 
mode' so things are unlikely to occur between now and the end of the 
state election.

CC by 4.0 copyright does not let OSM use it... see 
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/

If OSM obtains a specific waver then it may be possible to do a bulk 
import of data into OSM using GTFS?

The GTFS stuff is preferable as it avoids human errors (though open to 
software errors) and can be updated very rapidly.

Anyway - welcome to the Au talking list 'hand of God'.
