About this listen

Sydney local news morning update for February 01, 2026. We start your Sunday with a look at a contentious development decision, as the state government approves nearly a thousand new homes in a Sydney suburb known for severe flood risks. In a major shake-up for local media, the keys to radio station 2GB have been handed over to a well-known publican family.

We also look at the lighter side of our city's property obsession, including an eighty-three million dollar cash purchase in Rose Bay by a global footwear heir. Plus, we recap the drama from the Australian Open women's final and look ahead to tonight's men's showdown. Stay informed with ExtraLocal Sydney, your daily source for Sydney news, culture, and community updates.
