Yes I have an objection. >From what I can tell, roads are generally not gazetted in Queensland. The >exceptions seem to be State transport routes (i.e. those under control of Main Roads). All roads are registered as part of survey plans and the like.
By way of illustration: http://www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=1301&Itemid=71 states in its section 5: PROVISION OF ACCESS TO PROPERTIES ON DEDICATED ROADS (UNMADE, UNFORMED, or FORMED) DEFINITIONS: Dedicated An area of land dedicated to public use as a road; or an area road that is open to or used by the public and is developed for, or has as one of its main uses, the driving or riding of motor vehicles; but does not include a State-controlled road under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994. Formed A dedicated road that does not have gravel paving but which is road formed using a grader so that stormwater will drain off laterally. Gravel paved A dedicated road that has been formed and surfaced with gravel road paving material (usually transported to the site). Unformed A dedicated road that has been cleared and open to, and road customarily used by the public. Unmade A dedicated road that has had no capital improvements including road clearing, formation and gravel paving. Notwithstanding, an un- made road may be trafficable or un-trafficable in all weathers. So according to Toowoomba City Council's definition, we'd be looking to use "highway=unmade". I wouldn't mind knowing how other jurisdictions categorise it.
