Thorns can be a little variable re young calleryana plants - which this may be - I don't think the teeth on the leaf edge are sharp enough for this to be a manchurian pear and the leaf colour and shape look wrong for Pyrus communis.

I am not sure how to differentiate between P. calleryana and P. ussuriensis. Even within species it depends on cultivar and hybridisation. On the basis of invasiveness, P. calleryana is more likely and cultivars Bradford, Redspire and Chanticleer have been planted in Canberra. Pyrus ussuriensis is less invasive but has been widely planted, at least until recently.

Are there any fruit? The trees in the Parliamentary Triangle currently have a few fruit - https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4655079.
