So far, the big banks who have passed on the interest rate cuts are as follows:

Bank Rate cut
NAB Full
CBA Full
Westpac Full

Both buyers and sellers of Sydney are likely to cheer this news. Buyers may be likely to access further funds and lock in rates, whereas sellers might experience a reinvigorated property market.
