What happened
The federal government plans to sell 67 military properties, a divestment expected to generate $1.8 billion. This sale includes Victoria Barracks in Sydney, a complex where between 450 and 650 personnel are based. NSW Premier Chris Minns challenged the federal decision, supporting the listing of the site on the state's Heritage Council register.
Why it matters
The planned sale of historic military land represents a significant revenue stream for the federal government. The political dispute over the use of these sites in Sydney affects urban planning and property market stability in New South Wales.
