I would recommend that you drop the diploma. This will remove some subjects that are not meaningful. The diploma of professional practice is basically an internship. Basically you will have work for an employer for about 1 year.

A better approach would be to meet the 420 hr requirement of work experience for the engineering degree. (This applies to all engineering degrees). However I recommend you aim to get as much work experience as possible (furthermore university is fairly relaxed even in final year at least in my experience). It is through work experience you will truly develop practical skills.

The diploma forces you to do 2 6 months internship I believe and you have to find them. I heard that the diploma is not that great but I'm not in the engineering field so I'm not too sure

The selection rank can change from year to year. So even if you think your selection rank is quite low for some course I would still recommend you apply. There are multiple rounds. Maybe try even Usyd, or UNSW.

Technically yes, the cutoff for last year was 76.15. But we'll only know next week

So the diploma isn't required for domestic students applying to UTS?

You can check the uts handbook. Based on that it seems you can enroll in Bachelor of engineering honours without the diploma. If you already have offer with the diploma you can always drop in the future with a e-request to UTS. You can do this through the UTS student portal.
