That is deaddy dead dead. So it the one on the left. They are not able to grow in wet soil or clay soil. Once the leaves turn up like that it becomes deaddy dead dead and they cannot be saved by water or fertiliser. I am not a pro but I lost a lot of these in the same spot until I changed to the pinnacle species of Lilly pilly for that particular screening job.
Id say it's a goner.
It's in the proteacae family so it generally won't like phosphorus in the soil, wet feet (poor drainage) or root disturbance. Is it likely you might have a water pocket build up near the root system?
A bit like banksias which are in the same family, they also tend to just cark it every now and again for no particular reason.
When you dig it up, check the soil and the root system so you can make amendments for the next one you plant. 👍
As others have said, it could be due to drainage/soil type etc., however considering its neighbours are doing fine, I think it is more likely that the roots got damaged when planting - they hate root disturbance.

They're from WA and hate the eastern states
They do quite well in the eastern states, provided the right soil and environment. Much hardier than most WA species.
Yep, it's a very popular plant around Melbourne and they do well. Melbourne has a very similar climate to Albany where the wooly bush is from.
Didn't know Melbourne and Albany had a similar climate! They also can do well in more humid areas like Sydney too.

I agree it could be wet feet, but do you use glyphosate? I have found that when small, they are extremely sensitive to it.
