Leaves on this plant were significantly narrower than the ‘normal’ Lomandra longifolia that I see growing everywhere. Is there a narrow leaf variant? (I included my hand in one of the photos for an idea of scale).

That will be because this is Lomandra multiflora albiet a particularly large specimen. Without flowers or seeds the best ID feature to use is the leaf tips, L.longifolia has 2-3 jagged points while L.multiflora has a single rounded edge (as we can see here).

Habitat and form are also more typical of multiflora.

Thanks, a very massive plant (don't think I've ever seen one this big), so didn't really double check my ID on that alone.

Yeah, it got me first time around as well.

Thanks should also really go to @Steve_Bok for paying that extra attention to detail and noticing the differences I missed.
