Supercharger - Taree, NSW

Will be interesting for the SC with the displaced position. There is no concrete island and the kerb is a driveway beyond that position. Trailer? Disabled charging bay? Generic bay for cars with charge ports that can't be reached by the V4?

I've got it!
Just in case you were thinking of using that isolated charger on the right with a trailer attached, they put a bollard there to prevent you from doing so.
that bollard won't make any difference - just reverse in especially when beyond #12 is a driveway and no cars will be parked there.

Quick drive by at ~5am this morning, no further developments from what I could see, still surrounded by temporary fencing...
I go through downtown Taree nearly every week. There are road markings already there and the 2 new power poles, that are replacing the old poles where the cables will be routed up and joined to the overhead HV wires, are still lying on the ground waiting to be installed.
The last charging bay mentioned frequently in this thread seems to be nothing but a disabled parking bay. Those new poles have been lying on the ground for some time but people taking photos and submitting them on this thread have it seems to me failed to notice them from what I have seen.
Also markings are at 90 degrees to the curb it seems.
I do want to say here as someone that is local to the area there will be/are people that are not impressed with this installation's location and I hope the EV owners that use them will be considerate of their fears through loss of parking, nightly use etc not cause any more grievances that will make it difficult for all of us EV owners and especially for us local Tesla EV owners that have to face those "fearing" the new site regularly.
If I have time to stop and take photos will try to post them next week if someone else doesn't.

I’ve been in Taree this weekend and here’s the latest photos taken this afternoon.
All linemarking appears complete, 90° angle parking, ‘TESLA’ marking in each parking space, but this SC will not be Tesla-only, every space has the sign and QR code for charging your non-Tesla.
The final bay is not pull-through, yellow diagonal lines and the bollard mark the space next to it as not for parking.
I didn’t notice any poles lying on the ground. Nothing has happened to the pole across the road (which is on a bit of a lean) from where the power cabling will be routed.
In your last pic. On the other side of the road and down further are the two poles (inside barriers) mentioned by @TrevRex and I have seen them myself just last Tuesday when in town. The next pole down, near the new poles, also had barriers around it so maybe the hold up is the scheduling of the pole replacement as well as terminating power for the SC.
Had to meet a client in downtown Taree this morning and so I stopped to take a couple of photos. Was going to post them but I saw this:
Now I will add these photos:
The poles lying on the ground are on my left in the next photo. Now why in my previous photos are 2 poles showing? I'm glad you asked.
Now the next photo shows the 2 existing poles with cables on the ground.
Or a closer view of each existing pole:
So my guess is both those poles on the ground will replace both those existing poles with cables next to them.
Ok using your own photo I will mark them in red.

That's pretty typical there will be a 11kw switch inside the kiosk transformer. Ausgrid did the same thing when a new kiosk transformer was installed around the block from home. 11kw goes down one and back up the other. Guess the work will be done next Wednesday week 12/6.
