I'm pretty sure not a megabat. I'm guessing a Gould’s Wattled Bat (Chalinolobus gouldii) because it was hawking over water, in full daylight and about the right size and colouring. Have put that in as an ID, but would appreciate an informed ID from someone knowledgeable.

The kind of habitats where typically found (eg semi-permanent lagoons) don't occur in ACT. But it is planted into urban wetlands, with potential for spread further. So yes, I think (though hard to prove) that its not native to ACT but is to Southern Tablelands, and beyond.
Machaerina articulata
