Thanks for this sighting John.
It looks like a poor choice of species for landscaping in that location.
I've recently found some plantings at one of the new ponds at Coombs, and the grass is spreading along the banks. See:

PS
We would certainly be interested if you notice the grass spreading along the banks of Lake Ginninderra.
