    Since the Australian road rules came in, SA lost the 'cannot park within 6 metres of a driveway' rule .
    The Australian road rules have always been there, each state bases their own road rules on the australian ones, it would have been the choice of the SA transport department to change the legislation to remove the parking rule, don't blame the australian road rules for something your particular state has decided to do.

    As for the parking etc, each council has guidelines for parking within a street, as well as state road rules. If there are issues with too many cars parking in your street, you can ring the local council and ask to speak to the enforcement area, or the local laws area and lodge a complaint, they will send out an enforcement officer to check out the parking situation in your street, and may put parking restrictions in place.
