Sydney Rugby Development Sparks Protest

Protesters vow to block Sydney council from developing sporting fields for elite club rugby in the city's north-west amid an upcoming court challenge.

Protesters have announced plans to prevent the council from developing sporting fields for an elite rugby club at a reserve in Sydney's north-west. The move comes as a court challenge to the project is scheduled to be heard.

The council faces opposition from community members who object to the development plans, which they claim will affect local amenities.
