So there might be a bug with SelectLayerByLocation with PointGeometry objects. I found that it was necessary to supply a search distance for it to select intersecting polygons. You can supply a fixed amount such as "50 Feet" (or whatever units you want), or use the getSearchDistanceInches() function my linked answer.

I don't know why that wouldn't work unless pointGeom doesn't actually intersect anything in unit_layer. Perhaps you need to just refresh the view?

In the Python window (ArcMap) I've used the following, after creating the geometry in pointGeom: arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management("nsw_map_units","unit_layer") where nsw_map_units comes from the TOC. I then use that to run arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('unit_layer',"INTERSECT",pointGeom,"#","ADD_TO_SELECTION") , but I get no selection. I've even tried to physically create a point layer.

fc is set from a combo box selection. So I've made that global. ELAtemplate is a shapefile here, but I've tried running this in the Python window as a layer, shapefile or dragged from the TOC and none of them work.

Where is fc set? It's not set to anything but an empty string in this code. Also the input to SelectLayerByLocation must be a reference to a Layer object or the name of a feature layer in the current map document. ELAtemplate is a string pointing to a shapefile.
