New South Wales Police have authorised an Australia Day protest in Sydney's Hyde Park, despite extending a broader ban on mass demonstrations for another 14 days following the Bondi terror attack. Up to 15,000 protesters are expected to march from Hyde Park to Victoria Park on 26 January, with more than 400 police officers assigned to monitor the event. Organisers had threatened to proceed with the rally regardless of police permission, prompting authorities to create specific exemptions for certain areas including Hyde Park.

Western Sydney Airport will open in December with free bus services connecting passengers to St Mary's rail station, as the planned Metro link faces delays due to a cost dispute with contractors. The journey from Sydney CBD will take approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, combining train travel to St Mary's with a 45-minute bus connection. The M12 motorway linking Badgerys Creek to Sydney motorways will open in coming months, with 6,000 parking spaces available at the airport.
