Well, I guess that's more an attempt on the part of the observatory to stop further development in the park and twits using driving lights at night in the park.
The bigger problem long term is the skyglow from Coonabarabran, which is outside the park.
If you want to go observing with your own scope though, there's a better spot - Mt Kaputar. Admittedly its cloudier compared to Siding Spring, but it has a camping ground at the peak - and several excellent observing areas on the peak and when it's clear it's probably darker than Siding Spring Alfie to being even more distant from any large town.
