I thought I'd see if the tagging details in the US Trail Access Project link might be useful for Australia.

I tagged all of the tracks out at Kanangra - mainly because it has a mix of tracks, but few enough that it's easy to cover them all - with operator=NPWS or informal as appropriate. Basically the maintained ones with operator tags, others as informal.

I know Gaia (for example) renders informal tracks with less priority than formal tracks, though I don't know exactly the combinations of tags they are focussing on. I believe they refresh their tiles every 2-3 weeks so I'll have a look again in a few weeks.

If you're into mapping bush tracks, I hacked an Overpass Turbo query which does a pretty good job of visualising some of the useful tags (and where tags are missing). Happy to share.

cheers

I had suggested changing to access=no, or adding a disused: prefix (mainly to 
keep NPWS happy), but looking at this page, the recommendation seems to be to 
keep the tags as they are now (access=discouraged, informal=yes).
