This appears to be the first VHF TETRA site in Australia

Given that VHF Telstra Fleetcoms MPT1327 is being shutdown across the nation within 12 months, is VHF Tetra an possible alternative to operate in this band or are there technical issues such as the 4.6Mhz input/output splits, transmitter power etc. I read that the UHF Tetra has limitations especially in the metropolitan areas

I would suggest they probably have nothing to hide. They just may wish to keep their conversations private, something they are entitled to do. Given the onus is on the network owner to secure their communications, they have exercised that right.

One day, maybe scanner users will loose the attitude that because a frequency assignee secures their communications, it means they have something to hide, emergency services included. It is their decision and their prerogative to do so.
