Even if it gets to that point, the shields can easily be retrofitted so it's never too late to get something done, even if it's just your local lamp.
My local environmental officer is a good guy and was very helpful in getting my shield fitted. Unfortunately it sounds like the Brisbane councillors don't care, thus my suggestion of an annoying bunch of observers pushing for something to be done at council meetings - polite but persistent is the way to go when dealing with bureaucracy. Make it easier for the councillors to have shields installed than to put up with interlopers in council meetings.
In addition to observing concerns, point out the detrimental effects on sleeping from the glare of the LED's; they are brighter than the previous mercury vapour lamps we had. Block-out blinds don't cure the problem either as the light reflects around the side of the blind preventing the bedroom from being properly dark.
