I don't understand real estate.
I was looking online for fun and saw this house. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-forth-141066708
I love how positively haunted it is with the attic and what not. Would be a fun fixer-upper. But it's a dump. It's not liveable. It needs a lot of work. It's not on a lot of land. It's not near anything major in Tasmania (like Hobart or Launceston). The only "benefit" is how old it is.
"Accepting offers over 550k"
I truly don't get how.
I would love to have the $$ to buy something like that, renovate the shit out of it and live away from people.
Having said that, probably looking at like 200k in renovations (most likely more). The 550 seems low too considering what properties are going for these days.
So basically about a million to live in bumblefuck.
There is a massive lack of supply of housing in Australia. Very little is government built (unlike the 60s and 70s when govs were pumping cash in building homes), and developers are squeezing all they can out of buyers. Limited quantity of builders as well, so older and established 'gems' are fetching a pretty price.
Shit's fucked
I would love to have the $$ to buy something like that, renovate the shit out of it and live away from people. All I want in this life is a balcony to sip my coffee on of a morning and look out at some mountains and trees.

Holy mackerel, I swear driving inbound on the M1 from the outer west is going to be the death of me. Also if I see one more person indicate and then immediately merge or not indicate at all, I am going to scream. Indicating is a warning to those around you, and that means you need to give everyone sufficient time to heed your warning.

If I wanted to suggest a change to a traffic light sequence, should I be contacting VicRoads or my local Council? (If it's VicRoads, is there a specific email/contact form I should use? Or do just try the generic contact email and hope for the best?)
VicRoads, they nearly all traffic lights for councils, under contract. 13 11 70 goes to traffic management, rather than license inquiries.
SCATS (traffic light software) is usually good at learning traffic patterns, however it can easily be thrown off by one off events (eg knock-off at a footy game).
