It is listed on the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney's plant list so may be there's one there.

Might be possible in that kind of micro (well, getting to macro really) climate, but none and buckley's everywhere else.

Mountain coconut palms grow OK here, close to Sydney. There's a very large one growing in a local nursery.

What about growing in a greenhouse in the very best spot, then eight years or so later gradually remove the greenhouse. I would try that.

There's a lot of things grown in the Sydney gardens that shouldn't grow in Sydney but it's a very ideal micro climate

JohnMac .....tiny fruits on Parajubaea torallyi, commonly known as the Palma De Pasobaya or Bolivian Mountain Coconut, is a species of evergreen flowering plant of genus Parajubaea, may make a shot glass of milk with 100 fruits after 20 years growth....
Now if it would just be a bit easier to germinate (takes up to 2 years for a seed to 'pop').
