Hi,
It looks like Persoonia or snotty-gobble tree in the family Proteaceae. It is probably not the easiest tree in the world to disturb and is fairly slow to revoer. They have a deep and sparse root system. Perhaps it would be best to find a seedling.

Thanks for the ID Ash, and the extra info.
Think I'll take another look when I'm there next.
