I'm trying to sort out the term "gazetted roads." Is there a generally accepted or even "legal" definition for this term?

The reason for my quest is due to one of our favorite topics here: Hire company Terms and Conditions. :)

In the Apollo T&C, one can find the following statement:
"Four Wheel Drive Vehicles...may be driven...on unsealed roads on the condition that the roads driven on have been gazetted. Gazetted roads are roads that appear on official road maps and street directories"

Partly out of curiosity to see what response I would get, I emailed this inquiry:
"I'm interested in driving on remote roads such as the Gary Junction road; the Sandy Blight Road; the Connie Sue Highway; and the Anne Beadell Highway. Are your vehicles allowed on those roads? Those roads appear on Hema, etc. maps, but are they considered to be "gazetted"? "

Here's the response I got:
"You would be welcome to use either google maps, or any recent government issued map... The bellow [sic] listed roads would be ok to travel on with our vehicle, however a permission would be required on pick up."

So, Google Maps is a definitive source?! What do you all make of this?

BTW, while the AB, CS, and Sandy Blight all appear on Google Maps, the Gary Junction Road does not.
