Looks more like _Gahnia_ genus .
One of the multiple candidate spp.: _Gahnia radula_ amongst other spp. in this region .

Please check out candidates' spp. _Lepidosperma semiteres_ and _Lepidosperma filiforme_
(we hopefully all have certainty this does not identify as _Lepidesperma laterale_ per untrained in _Lepidosperma_ spp. Carbon artificial pattern recognition so called I. ).

Yeah, seems _Lomandra filiformis_ subsp. _filiformis_;
but from attempting to work together, this sighting including your focussed and good photographs (or any photographs per se) and the Flora of NSW online PlantNet key to the subspecies;
hard to confirm subspecies (as regularly occurs in systematic efforts to identify subspecies of _Lomandra filiformis_ from photographs per se) .
