User's notes
The end of it's tail was missing and it was lying on some gravel on its back in the sun. I turned it over and it briefly stuck its tongue out. I have put it into a box and called a qualified snake catcher and they will take it to a vet.
I believe it is an Olive Legless Lizard because it has visible ear holes and a pointy nose, not a flat nose.

There's no question it is a Delma. The issue, based on locality is whether it is inornata or impar. It looks like inornata to me so I am happy to go with that at this stage.

Agreed it is D. inornata. Might have been a gravid female looking at the body shape.
