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.

Pyrus sp.

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

Listed in the PARLIAMENT HOUSE VISTA AREA HERITAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN VOLUME 2 – APPENDICES as an avenue of Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'.
My unreliable long-term memory recalls 'Manchurian pears with smelly flowers', but Manchurian pear is Pyrus ussuriensis though the smelly flowers are Pyrus calleryana.
