@maznee . Great !
When you do, you may as well take with you the Flora of NSW online PlantNet botanical key page and have yourself a go at botanically keying this tree out to species .
Here: → https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Daphnandra

The reason being these closely related and superficially similar looking trees' species much more easily get botanically keyed out to species first hand in the field, rather by photographs per se.

Happy to confirm your first hand in the field results;
together with your comments about the specific question i asked above,
about the whether these leaves upper surfaces have midribs sunken, slightly raised or flush with the surface of the leaves laminas.

@maznee . Good morning !

Looking into this sighting again, a possible candidate species: _Daphnandra micrantha_ (in its strict taxonomic sense).
Compare and contrast to alternative possible candidate species: _Daphnandra apatela_ .

Hence does this tree sighted here have:
• the midribs sunken on the upper surface of the leaves ?
or
• the midribs slightly raised or flush with the upper surface of the leaves ?

All the best,
Jason (Stewart)
