I think all ACT/NSW occurrences are subsp. angustifolia. This is one that Parks and Conservation want to get rid of. It is not listed as a Canberra street tree but it has been used as a street tree in other places.

The seeds in large clusters on drooping stalks, being slightly twisted and stating off initially pale green and brown when mature are diagnostic.
