The flower spikes are over twice the length of the scapes, which is consistent in the population, therefore likely X. australis or X. glauca. If X. resinosa, I would expect to see the scape and spike length roughly even. The leaves/crowns are grey-green/glaucous coloured not green as would be expected in X. latifolia. The leaves also do not appear broad and have little flexion, which is always evident in X. latifolia on account of the very shallow and broad leaf cross-section shape.
If the area of this sighting were included, this would aid with a more accurate ID.

Xanthorrhoea sp.

Green leaves (not glaucous, therefore not consistent with X. resinosa or X. glauca), leaf width is not overly broad (unlikely X. latifolia or X. arborea), hemispherical, tidy crown (highly unlikely X. minor or X. macronema), location: within the Greater Sydney area, therefore this is likely X. media.

I just picked it off the list I was offered on the app. X. acaulis was the only option provided.

Xanthorrhoea glauca

Possibly X. latifolia. Without the presence of a flower spike, a profile of a cut cross-section of one or more leaves taken mid-way the length can assist with defining a species. The leaf colour appears too green for X. glauca.

Acaulis= acaulescent meaning without a stem or caudex, although X. acaulis can produce a caudex up to 40cm, this specimen is significantly taller, and X. acaulis is not recorded to occur in this area. This specimen is geographically and morphologically inconsistent with X. acualis.

Xanthorrhoea glauca
