Demolition of Sydney’s Allianz stadium can commence immediately after a judge dismissed an application to extend a court order preventing the major works.
Community group Local Democracy Matters (LDM) and the Waverley Council asked the court to extend an injunction on the demolition until Monday.
The group had challenged the $730 million plan to demolish the stadium but the court ruled in favour of the NSW Government on Wednesday.
The NSW Government says the stadium needs to be knocked down as it is a safety risk, but the Opposition maintains the money would be better spent on health and education.
