Do not expect removal will happen. TCCS wrote:
"Due to the imperative nature of growing and retaining the tree canopy cover across Canberra, in line with targets set out in Canberra’s Living Infrastructure Plan and the Urban Forest Strategy, our operations teams do not remove healthy trees, irrespective of their status as a pest plant. If identified pest species are seen to be in decline or have died, removals take place, and these species are not actively replanted by our teams."
So no account is taken of how invasive a species is.

Yes bark, leaf size and colour, and location right for yellow box.

Good photos of the fruit and bark features for id. They show the cup-shaped fruit with a raised-annular disc, and exserted valves above the rim. And the combination of the trunk and large branch bark which is rough, grey-brown and fissured-tessellated, and the smooth barked upper branches.

The test for Eucalyptus manniferra is that if you run your thumb a foot or so down the stem you should have a chalky residue on your thumb. Also E. mannifera does not have wrinkly arm pits (compression wrinkles where a main limb joins the trunk) while particularly Scibbly gum and to a less extent Blakley's Red Gum do.
