I have a different view about whether the unincorporated areas actually
exist. They have defined boundaries and names, both assigned by the

NSW and SA and the signs are the same as signs identifying shire/city
boundaries.
That's not the issue. I'm not saying that there isn't parts of NSW
known as unincorporated area. All I'm saying is that this is the part
of NSW that doesn't have a local government authority and as such
should not be tagged as admin_level 6.
It does have an administration that performs the function of a 'local
government authority'.
There is no local administration in this area it's all done from the
state government level.
There is an administration that performs the function of a 'local
administration' .
The authority exercised is, in OSM terms, a level 6 authority.
The 'best fit' is level 6 - that is the authority that is exercised.

The authority physical location should not be an item for exclusion
concern.
For me the primary thing is .. who administers this area at level 6?
Leaving it blank means either OSM does not have the data or there is no
administration in this area at all. Neither of those things are true for
NSW.
I think the objection to is the physical difference in location between
the area administered and the the office of administration?
Is the office of administration something that is presently mapped? If
it were .. would that ease your objection Andrew?
Level 6 is used for all sorts of things .. in different countries .. no
reason why Australia should not have a reasonable and useful definition
of what goes in level 6.
