With no decent photos of the leaves (margins rolled back or not tips with a recurved point or not), and front on of the flowers (to show whether the edges of the keels (the two petals joined together in the middle) are conspicuously hairy or not), it is hard to say whether this is Gompholobium huegelii or G. minus. The ridged calyx on the buds suggests G. minus to me.

Those are the only photos I have at the moment. I will try to get some more either of that plant or something nearby in a few days

Some additional (hopefully better) photos have been added which should help resolve this. I have more of thee leaves if needed.

Definitely not Gompholobium huegelii, which has conspicuous hairs at the join of the two keel petals. I am inclined to think it is Gomphoblium minus with its ridged flower buds, though the leaflets appear to be very small for that species (Plantnet says 5-12 mm long). Stems in this species, however, are described in Plantnet as covered with short spreading hairs, but not warty. However I do not think it is Gompholobium inconspicuum (leaflets 5-8 mm long), which has non-ridged flower buds and sparsely hairy, densely warty stems.
