@Mike Has this been removed or sprayed? If not I would like to visit the site with some of our team to do ID and we may be abele to also excavate the area to remove all the roots. As far as I know this may be the only reported site in ACT that isn't in a private garden.

Thanks @HarleyB, I haven't treated it. It is in some rubble so might need s bit of digging..

Great. We will be out there next week to have a good look at the plant and to remove it. Thanks Mike.
