The City of Sydney council and Mayor run the central business area and inner south suburbs, its about the same size as City of London + Islington. It is one of about 38 local councils in Sydney.
The campaign against the new segregated bike lane is more sophisticated than the previous version (also supported by Alan Jones). That time there were over one hundred written objections from businesses - almost all of them fictional, many of the companies named actually supported the route.
There is something similar happening in London just now over the consultations on the Mayor's east-west and north-south cycle superhighways. The evening standard has been headlining strong business opposition, it mostly comes from one or two companies.
