My comments relate to point 4 (Open Questions): In other datasets, the IUCN category has been part of the data. After a quick search I found that Wikipedia reports West Island Encounter Bay Aquatic Reserve to be IUCN category VI and gives CAPAD 2014 (retrieved in 2016) as the source. I don't think we can use Wikipedia as data source and I did not see this data in CAPAD 2016 but it may be available elsewhere. SA Government has been very helpful to OSM and I'd be surprised if the data were not available somewhere. Alternatively, if the areas do not have an IUCN category, the wiki identifies "protect_class=7" for nature-feature areas without IUCN level.
In regard to type=boundary or type=multipolygon, I have a strong preference for type=boundary. I have used JOSM to add some data but Potlatch has been easier for reviewing/changing/modifying and checking against existing data. I have found type=multipolygon renders relations difficult to edit in Potlatch whereas type=boundary is no problem. However others may have had different experiences and different editors may be the reason. Some time ago, I raised on the talk-au list the question of protected areas not being rendered on the map and the outcome was that we would add "leisure=nature_reserve" to all protected areas (whether or not the areas are used for leisure) until such time as the rendering problem is sorted. Overall, I think this is a good data import.
