NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes says the City of Sydneyâs plan to redevelop the Waterloo public housing estate is superior to the one originally put forward by the state government agency overseeing it and the latter is mistaken if they believe they will get what they want.
But he also said the council failed to reach a conclusion in a dispute with Land and Housing Corporation â the authority responsible for social housing â over the scale of the development, after warning on Tuesday he would intervene if a deadlock wasnât resolved within weeks.
