The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's chief concern is that Transurban will be in pole position to gain ownership of future motorway extensions in Sydney if it gains control of WestConnex. Transurban already owns seven of the nine toll-road concessions in the city.
Despite the regulator's call for more time,the NSW government decided on Friday to stick to its original deadline for final bids due by Monday.
