Pool area plant suggestions please

Needing some suggestions for which plants to use along the long side of my pool. The garden bed is about 80cm wide so I'm after narrow plants that can handle the hot sun until about 3pm, the salt/magnesium of the pool water and have non invasive roots. I'm after a contemporary look so was hoping to avoid tropical looking plants, but am definitely open to suggestions and am after variations in height. Have considered non invasive bamboo, bay trees, magnolia teddy bear and even woolly bush. We will also have a section about 2.5m wide roughly in the middle which is paved for either a bench or 2 chairs and side table. The plants also have to cope with Melbourne's hot summers and frosty winters. Easy right? Haha! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
