Saw it in the botanic gardens at Williamstown and thought it looked nice.

Would like to know the name of it.

Can anyone help?

I reckon that's more of an aeonium, not a sempervirens spp. Not all aeonia are purple - there's a whole lot with nice different coloured edges like this one. The flowers are very like an aeonium. I've never seen a sempervirens flower so I dunno what such flowers would look like.
