What snake is this

Hi All

Found on the lawn near a garden bed this morning. Looks like the cat may have found it overnight going by the bite and chew damage to the reptile. Have seen a couple of other very similar sized and similar appearance snakes in the garden over the past decade or so.
It is about 300 / 350mm long with an olive green / grey colouring and the belly has an almost sparkly iridescent in the sunshine.
Also have several Blue Tongues ( and no snails ) around the yard, lots of skinks and have had a couple of small Red Bellies over the years, that the cat may have dragged home.
All this wildlife in suburban Bulli, who would've thought and don't get me started on the Sulphur Crested, Rainbow Lorikeets and King Parrots .
Anyway if any Herpetologists out there can identify the species it would be most interesting, the closest I could find from pictures was maybe an Golden Crowned Snake.

Thanks for Looking.
