WestConnex officials have revealed to the City of Sydney Council that an area 12 metres wide along the length of Sydney park will be subsumed as part of the second stage of the project.

Both Liberal Councillors, Edward Mandla and Christine Forster, said that the council as a whole had been wholly disrespectful when WestConnex CEO Dennis Cliché met with them.

“It was a cowardly attack on a department spokesperson,” Cr Mandla said.

“I’m worried that because of our actions as a collective council we are going to be left out of future negotiations.”
