The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I'm on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can't believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I'm unable to receive phone calls from my house.

Do you think there's anything I can do about it?

I'm not going back to Telstra, they can get fucked. I would rather no cell phone coverage than give Telstra a cent.

I've been considering making my own signal booster, but I don't know how well it will work, or even if it will.

Optus internet is terrible I haven't used vodaphone but it can't be worse than optus

Vodafone is good enough, mostly. The main advantage is that it's dirt cheap, I'm paying $25 a month for my phone and it's unlimited data. Not fast unlimited, but I don't get fast internet anyway so unlimited is still nice.
