You do have several options in species that fit the bill. It looks like you are in Queensland, which is pretty far from here. Your climate will allow for a few species and none of these have invasive roots. Keep in mind that many of these are only tiny relative to their taller cousins. The shortest being the parlor palm.You might consider Dwarf Date Palm (1.8-3m / 6-10ft), Lady Palm (1.8-3.6m / 6-12ft), Cascade Palm (1.8-3m / 6-10ft), Kentia Palm (3-6m / 10-20ft), and Parlor Palm (1.2-1.8m / 4-6ft)
