Parramatta. Proposed laws face opposition

Proposed laws allowing councils the right to purchase private land and transfer it to developers for a profitable resale goes to the NSW parliament this week, and neither the coalition nor the NSW Greens will be supporting it, according to The Australian Financial Review. The High Court of Australia had stopped the sale of properties in Darcy Street to the council to bulk up the proposed $1.4 billion Civic Place redevelopment.
