I think its marginata, just wasn't sure if we wanted to keep sightings of planted species thats all

I think the general consensus is not to have sightings of planted species. There are some exceptions. This will need to be clarified for "monitoring of habitat and connectivity restoration works" suggested as a citizen science project.

There is an option to identify a sighting as 'planted' so I didn't know about this consensus. I didn't realize that my GPS was playing up so I have updated the location. It is in a public space.

It looks like a healthy specimen. The ones planted in Mugga Mugga about 20 years ago (before it was a reserve) are struggling.

we don't want to become a garden plant ID site but flexible re public space plantings for restoration

Yes, this public space is one which should be improved for connectivity with more local natives instead of desert ash and other exotics which are spreading seed into the adjacent reserves.
