The leaves looked different to V banksii. V eminens has been found down from subalpine bogs to sea level. Happy to be corrected though!

Interesting, my understanding was V. eminens was more of a montane thing. Lets ask Ciaran

I went back for another inspection there are actually many different shapes leaves so most likely fits banksii.
