I tend to agree with you suggesting Lepidosperma laterale.
Okay .
Hence, so confirming identification as Lepidosperma laterale of course is a more serious step .

Referring to the key here : https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Lepidosperma
(meanwhile beware it is quite out of date, with much more recent Lepidosperma taxonomy work since it was published) .

• Inflorescence lengths averaged or a range ? (key questions' step 12 couplet) – i
I suggest this plant does have (quotation): "long, more or less spreading branches";
thus going to key questions' step 13 .

Confirming this does not identify as Lepidosperma elatius .

• Spikelets lengths averaged or a range ? (key questions' step 17 couplet)

The Flora of Vic. online VicFlora key has been a bit more up-dated but also is somewhat behind the most recent taxonomy publications : https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/key/1991
.

Seems to fit Plantnet key for Lepidosperma laterale based on my memory of the specimens I observed. leaf/culm margins were smooth and not sticky. Plant lists for this area include L. laterale (though they are not necessarily reliable). Please advise what further information should I provide or obtain to identify to species level?

Lepidosperma sp.

Apologies. This taxon is so different to the others,
Most prominent in the Budawangs.
