Mike, it doesn't look as if any of us can hazard a name. Perhaps a specimen to the botanic gardens?

There are about 47 acacias species, including hybrids, in the ACT Plant Census 2017 but only half of them are local. With over 900 species of acacia it would not be surprising if this was another non-local one. It looks related to A. boormanii which is in full bloom or spent flowers nearby, if that means anything.
