Whatever year they decide to start streaming from could well be dictated by rights. Smart TVs and streaming didn’t really become mainstream until the 2010s, so there’s every possibility Neighbours’ actor/writer contracts were updated around that time to cover future streaming rights as production companies reacted to that evolution.
Anything earlier will need more detailed reassessing before it can be made available.
Pure speculation on my part, but 2011 does fit into the time when digital media was beginning to boom and might therefore realistically be widely covered in contracts for the first time.
