Hi Andrew,
There is a document here that spells out how the Tasmanian PWS uses the various track classification schemes. Search for ‘publicity’ to get to the classifications that should not be on maps. https://parks.tas.gov.au/Documents/Walking_Track_Classification_Policy_.pdf and an evaluation report on track management in general https://parks.tas.gov.au/Documents/Evaluation_Report__Back-country_walking_track_management_in_the_Tasmanian_Wilderness_WHA.pdf I can load up the actual walking track strategies if you like but they are hefty volumes!

Caution should be exercised if considering mapping of ‘tracks, routes and pads’ in remote reserves, as they may well be covered by management plans, standards or regulations which seek to minimise publicity. Such regulations or standards (AS2156) may request that the location of such ‘tracks’ are not publicised on maps. You should seek clarification from the managing authority prior to adding such tracks. Even though I cringe at a Don'tRender=yes tag, instead of self censoring our database, I'd rather add a tag to say the operator requests not to display these tracks to users. For me OSM is still a database not a map, so using such a tag makes the data more accurate and lets the real map publishers who use OSM data decide what to show or not. While still allowing researchers, park management and the interested public to see what's going on in the park in terms of actual informal/unauthorised trails exist. Are there any park management plans which include these clases? I'm interested to take a look and see what other places it applies too.
