It isn’t easy for me to tell from the photo but it looks like Koelreuteria paniculata rather than Fraxinus sp. Mature trees of both occur nearby so you could compare leaves. I thought you had simply picked the wrong golden rain tree: Koelreuteria elegans does not occur in this region.
Koelreuteria elegens subsp. formosana

thanks Mike I wasn't sure whether Rain Tree or Ash - Ciaran id-ed the planted mature specimen close by as Fraxinus sp. Fraxinus sp. (An Ash)

yes Mike and resident of 77 Rivett Street who planted the tree still spreads the leaves possibly with fruits in the reserve as he does with Chilean needle grass clippings - he does this for as least 22 years, i.e. the first time FoMM asked to discontinue. This is an example of garden extension / bush on the boundary problem. I informed Parks many times particularly about garden extensions and about the resident spreading CNG clippings. At one occasion Parks staff said he didn't see / find the spread CNG clippings that I reported; therefore I thought to help Parks to see by documenting... I change the id to Fraxinus sp.
Fraxinus sp.
