Ok.. I think the following can be done on the Australian Tagging Guidelines;


Remove the words "not map the interior private roads in detail" from 
service roads
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Urban_Areas


Add a new section "Private Roads" under 'Road Tagging' as the last entry.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Road_Tagging

With words something like?

"Private roads can be mapped, this provides information for;
the person going past, that the road is private and their location on 
the map
emergency services who may find the road of benefit
the private individual who can use the road

Such private roads should have the tag 'access=private', if you are not 
certain then it is best to err on the cautious side and add the 
'access=private'."



Any objections, corrections, better words .. ???
