Could be Genista stenopetala, which iNaturalist suggests if I reject G. monspessulana.

Not like the G. monspessulana the ACT BioSecurity team removed this morning.

It’s a new one for me too. I might have said G. monspessulana if I had not reported some a couple of minutes earlier; up close it looked different. I used iNaturalist to get a second suggestion and followed up online and in Weeds of the South East, Richardson et.al. It is not in the ACT Plant Census. Given the location on old Long Gully Road, it could be another horticultural broom.

Length of flower raceme and length of leaf petiole defines it as Madeira Broom.
