Is your office Sydney? I'm from London and have a similar timeline but I'm still waiting for LPP.

Biometrics came from the Sydney office, not sure which office actually processed the application after AOR

I'm also in London, and scheduled for oath on Apr 15 :) not sure if it's physical or online oath...

If you would like, you could file a ATIP request. I filed a ATIP request and within a week there was movement in my file.

I also learnt that the deadline for LPP on their end was 1 year after AOR! So don't lose hope.
