Depending on the legislation that empowers the RTA the decisions made by them can be reviewed by the Administrative Descisions Tribunal (NSW)
Decisions made in administration of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 are reviewable
but the ROAD TRANSPORT (VEHICLE REGISTRATION) REGULATIONS 2000 are not listed (so maybe a specific enquiry)
Administrative Decisions Tribunal of NSW - Adminstrative Decisions Tribunal : Lawlink NSW
However, if your state govt is looking at the RTA then it might be a good time to remind the transport minister or your local member that oversight/review of these matters might be a good thing and provide an avenue for getting complaints off his desk...
who knows
