What windbreak species do you suppose could work for a south-east facing wind-swept narrow corridor?
Lots of gusty winds (corridor effect in between buildings), wind chill damage and only 1h of direct sunshine.
I thought of natives like Mellaluca armillaris, Casuarinas, hakea gibbosa or perhaps lilli pillis. Any thought or suggestion?

Of the species you suggested only the Lilli Pillis will cope with 1 hour sun a day. There are a number of species called the common name of Lilli Pilli but I would try the straight species Acmena smithii (ie not a hybrid which is a plant whose genes have been manipulated with)or Syzygium leuhmannii. These are both rainforest species which are naturally adapted to deep shade.
