Thanks Steve91 and all who have contributed to this thread.
In the end I changed the access tag to horses no bicycles no but left
the name unchanged. I referenced these discussions in the change
comment.

Hi.
I'm user Steve91.
I did not put the original track in OSM, the changeset that is
referenced is to me improving the accuracy of the upper (eastern)
section of the track. The upper section of the track has been in
existence for over a year or two. And appears to be well used/good
condition.
I do not know where the name came from. I only map what is on the
ground and the way this track is follows what I know as single track
mtb.
There is no signs stating no access, this is a formed path. As are
many others in the area. Even the official ones aren't signed.
I strongly discourage the removal of the track as OSM is a map of
the world and not the map of parks vic. If it exists then it can be
mapped.
I don't mind removal of the name, however the original author might.
These are just my views, always happy to consider other views.
Steve.

Thanks for the replies
The track exists and is mappable. It is not blocked off.
Parks Vic prefers light handed regulation so I used mild language to
describe the track status.
http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/315692/Park-note-Lysterfield-Lake-mountain-bike-riding.pdf actually states: "Cyclists are not permitted to create new tracks, ride through bush or ride on tracks
other
than
those designated for Mountain Bike riding."
Possibly tag it access=no and rename it to "Track closed" depending on
how widely the name "Ant Track" is known. It may be known as Ant Track
by a very small group of riders.
Thanks for the contact info, I didn't want to start an edit war with
the author. I will contact them.
Tony
