The NSW government abandoned a forced amalgamation of 14 city councils in Sydney in July last year. My question is this; are they proposing amalgamating existing local councils into three major cities or are they proposing three major urban planning “zones”?... hence the “split” of Sydney into three. If it’s the second option, I wonder how local councils will cooperate considering the animosity toward forced amalgamation in the past?
