I don’t know the Australian constitution or legal structure either, but as vehicle regulations are set by the feds thes states still need to deal with the repercussions. They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes.
A better approach might be to get rid of parking requirements altogether. But, that’s more likely to be political suicide for the elected officials than to spur on a broader anti-car sentiment, especially given the rural nature of the state.

Whike this is true they could loudly advocate the national government to change the laws and ban shitty US sized utes. They could also shout loudly about making those small Japanese trucks easy and tax free…
This also doesn’t address the problem, where it is an issue aren’t going to rebuild, not for decades anyway.
