    Looks like a Fig, but fig leaves are not prickly

    Fig, they produce delicious fruit.

    You might want to relocate that away from the bricks if you have a suitable spot. Figs are great little trees but they tend to have pretty invasive roots

    Just be careful, edible figs are considered mildly invasive where i am in California, and probably in Australia too. As you said, they grow fast and surprisingly big, will get spread by animals, and grow thick stands that snuff out native vegetation. I don’t really expect you to do anything as they arent the worst thing in the world(although it seems to be growing pretty close to your house) but its better to be aware of such things.
