Back on topic,
Congratulations Melbourne your new Supercharger in Richmond is now the southern most Superchargers in the world having taken the Crown from Star City in Sydney.

Yes Congratulaions, Looks like this will last for a while, I guess at least a few years before Hobart has a service centre although it would be good if TAS introduced Norway like incentives given the local renewable electricity supply. Warrnambool should probably be next in 2016 or 2017.

Now all they need to do is update the Supercharger Map on the Tesla Motors website (and include Goulburn as coming soon)

Most likely the sub-station upgrades that they were waiting on to allow opening of the last two stalls.
Those figures are still nominal though... Do you think something has been changed?

Moonee Ponds coming online soon. 6 Stalls there.
Richmond could do with a few more. I've waited there a few times for 20+ min

Not really considering the best place for superchargers is actually on the open roads on long trips. If you are stopped for more than a couple of hours then a 22kW AC charger is just as effective and can be installed for about $2k including wiring. If you are staying at a hotel or whatever then charging overnight is much more convenient than visiting a supercharger - and unless you have free supercharging, is much cheaper as well.
Eg. when I travel from Sydney-Canberra I don't bother with the Canberra supercharger - I just stay at a hotel with charging and the car is full the next morning.

Um alot of trips end at capital cities. I just did one. I can tell you it sucked to have to wait for an hour to START charging when you have just driven 2000kms. First world problem, but really one easily fixed.
Once you accept there is a need (and if there wasn't why have any superchargers in Melbourne by your logic) then you may as well ensure that need is fully fulfilled.

Yes, I agree, unless:
you street park and can't practically get a home charge
you live in an apartment where issues have prevented you from installing an HPWC
