Hypothetically, if the notam had said "RWY 14/32 not available due to tarmac damage from spilt oil", but I was unable to land on 14/32 anyway due to my aircraft type, there would be a legal requirement to carry that alternate under those conditions. From a practical perspective the unavailability of a bit of tarmac that I cant use anyway shouldn't realistically affect the alternate minima for my planning into Brisbane, although legally it would according to that notam, which doesn't seem particularly logical.
