Re: What plants for here?
Maybe a metrosideros or flowering lily pily like cascade in the middle, even a dwarf australian christmas bush or dwarf wattle, maybe some sort of boronia, that creeping grevillia ground cover might work too.

Just for an alternative: Id rip it all out and plonk a crepe myrtle in the middle with 4-5 azaleas zigzagged and trimmmed as balls. Eventually you could trim it to a curvey low hedge. Prolly could go a small growing liriope (like samantha, not evergreen giant) or mondo in the 3-4 gaps. Would DEFINATELY improve the soil with several bags of compost(low pH) and or sheep or cow poo. That soil looks really tired and dry.

Could suggest a Coprosma 'Karo Red' to replace the Grevlliea + westringia 'flat and fruity' as a groundcover to define the boundary.
Would use hydrocell to increase soil water holding capacity.

Re: What plants for here?
I have the new OzBreed trade catalogue in front of me tonight.
There's a Callistemon viminalis called 'Slim' which will naturally get to 3m x 1.3 wide. Underplant with Pigface - Carpobrotus glaucescens 'Aussie Rambler' large pink flower, 20cm high x 1.2m, which goes well in sandy soil and is a coastal plant too. Another option for groundcover is Myoporum parvifolium 'Yareena' 10cm high x 1m, small white flowers.
Or take out the lot and mass plant Dianella, Lomandra or Kangaroo grass.
