[talk-au] Paths in Illawarra Conservation Lands

[Sebastian S.]

Good discussion,
I also think the track should be mapped.
Aside from access no I think it might be worthwhile adding decommissioned or rehabilitation tags to tracks that should not be used to indicate their intended end.

Other thoughts are: 
- why show access=no tracks on the map? Admittedly this comes down to the data consumers and their rendering.
- would tagging the whole area with access=conditional add any value?
- how will this discussion that will end in some form of agreed practice be documented on the map, aside from revised tracks that is?
- have they also threatened other mapping companies with legal actions? ianal but my response would be highlighting the various mismatches as already pointed out in the thread.
