This seems lower and more compact than other silver wattle in the area.

The leaflets also look a little big for Acacia dealbata. I wonder it is is a hybrid with Acacia decurrens. Did teh stems have ridges running along them?

I don't recall ridges but will check. There are decurrens hybrids nearby. There are about 30 acacia species in the Isaacs Ridge area and half of them are not local - and then there are the hybrids. What should be the management strategy?
