The ATC confirmed this week it had changed tack in its approach to the Rosehill process and would seek a $5 billion price tag directly from the NSW government for Rosehill rather than develop and commercialise the site itself.

Those details were included in the two resolutions it has asked members to vote on at the Club’s Extraordinary General Meeting on April 3.

That led to suggestions that the Minns government had already agreed to acquire the site, something the ATC ruled out in its Notice Of Meeting, issued on Wednesday evening.
