Hi Jiggy. The focus on CNM is on wild flora & fauna, so we don't usually do potted garden plants. Hope you are happy with Jane's ID.| Insufficient or inconclusive evidence | MichaelBedingfield | 26 Feb 2021 | |

this looks like Nelumbo nucifera.
if so, it is native to Australia (though that may not be where this plant came from) and occurs in tropical Australia, as well as south-east Asia.
it is certainly not native to ACT.
Winters in ACT would be punishing for this species, if outside.
