Maybe the greatest challenges to activity might be if Australia Day is already booked up with family commitments - plus - the Summer VHF/UHF Field Day is very close in dates.( See FD Dates Algorithm eg 2018: 13-14 Jan , 2019: 12-13 Jan, 2020: 18-19 Jan, 2021 14-15 Jan. ) Those participants could be too FD'd out and not want to (or not allowed to ) participate.
You would need to run it past Mike 3AVV re VKCL supporting it before you go too much further, though if it ran the same rules as the Shires Contest then it probably would be relatively easy to insert the support in the software.
Two hour or three hour rework ? If things are quiet then the 2 hour rework rule is good and you keep busy / involved (eg during the TT this last weekend, there were periods of no one to work that you hadn't already worked (or could hear to work)). Three hour rework rule can get very boring if participation is low.
