NSW government 'suppressed' report showing carcinogen risk in stadium demolition

Case against demolition of Allianz Stadium hears government failed to investigate reports of contamination

A legal challenge to the New South Wales government's controversial plan to demolish Sydney's Allianz Stadium before next month's state election has heard the government "suppressed" the release of a report showing the site was contaminated with potentially carcinogenic material.

Local Democracy Matters, a group set up to fight the amalgamation of Randwick and Waverley councils 18 months ago, is seeking to halt the demolition of the stadium before the election by arguing the government failed to follow its own planning rules.
