The ACT Plant Census (2017) does not mention subspecies, so both must have been recorded for the ACT. There is too much overlap in leaf details to decide which subspecies this is. Details in https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/acacia_dealbata.htm
I am fairly sure this is not a hybrid. It can hybridise with Acacia baileyana (unlikely in the plant in your photo because of the number of leaflets), and with Aciacia parramattensis (again unlikely because of the colour).
