The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, says he does not believe “Sydney is full” – as the former Labor premier Bob Carr famously declared in 2000 – but he is going to rebalance development away from the city fringe toward the CBD.
Speaking to Guardian Australia after 100 days in office, Minns says even if Sydney was full, there is little he could do about it, as people will continue to arrive and settle in the Sydney basin.
