In NSW you can often check up unformed roads on council web sites. There
are oodles of them shown in Google that don't currently exist in
reality. Compare

I think google and melways obtained their Victorian base maps from landvic,

Then they go about fixing up the street use, that is why melways has a much
better map because they have been modifying it for many more years.
In this case Ward road is still on landvic as a government easement so may get
developed in the future and is not private property (unless we are talking
about something different).
In my neighbourhood which isn't to far away from Kallista a neighbour has
built a shed on government land reserved of a road and erected a fence to
block people. Directly above his shed are powerlines that run down the
easement beside the land reserved for the road!
This all get back to a discussion on this list about 12 months ago about
mapping non-existing roads/gazetted road,
