Soooo, the message of main roads probably ended up with someone who literally didn't know what to do with it. The complaints address crank'n supplied might get some results, but a phone call or email to the local council responsible for the path/road might get even fast results.
Main Roads looks after the Principal Shared Use Paths that run next to the freeways. Local government looks after the rest.
