Oof. You're right. In west aus council elections aren't compulsory which I guess led to (but does not excuse) my confusion.
Ah interesting.
In Queensland the elections are compulsory, but it's worth noting that it's optional preferential. So voters are allowed to just number "1" and stop there, if they want.
The LNP uses this to great effect in their campaigns, and it's apparently part of the reason they have such a large majority of seats in BCC.
