That is a reason I did not consider A. campestre before, but I looked at the last two images for the species on maplesociety.org. I haven't tried using their key, and don't know of any other comprehensive ones.

Acer buergerianum

Mike Acer campestre has pointed leaf lobes while the lobes on these leaves appear to be blunt

The key to maples given in https://maplesociety.org/species-list/vegetative-key-to-the-genus-acer/ has A. buergerianum in GROUP G (Acer, Ginnala, Indivisa, Oblonga, Pubescentia): Lamina unlobed or 0-3-lobed, 5-lobed laminas absent. This tree has 3-5 lobed leaves and I think it is Acer campestre; it matches some of the images in the vegetative scans (including the underside of the leaves which I can't add to this sighting).

I have updated the photo of fruit (samaras) showing how they are connected before they split and droop.

@Tapirlord -thankyou. The BCT survey of our property includes Xanthorrhoea media in the species list. The vegetation mapping for the area (Lower Hunter, Cessnock LGA Vegetation) includes Xanthorrhoea latifolia (Xanthorrhoea media spp. latifolia). I'm not sure why, but I can't bring up that species in the ID list.

Xanthorrhoea sp.
