Would it be worh adding communities for each state and territory? I know there are communities for the capital cities eg Sydney, but sometimes I come across a story specific to NSW, so instead I post it here.

Pretty much agree with other people's comments here.

For my State community, this has been accounted for in the name of the Perth/Western Australia community. To make it clear the community is for the city and the State.

Maybe its different in a city like Perth, but too many people are invested in both the country and the city for it to make sense that they have different communities for what is essentially different parts of their life.

It also has the added benefit of attempting to narrow the country-metro divide that news organisations promote through their different programming decisions. They're limited by broadcast space in a day, a community on Aussie.zone is limited by the server capacity Lodion has organised, in other words we could afford a lot of varied posts different demographics would find interesting under the one banner.
