The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) will not be investigating Parkes Shire Council, the Council Chambers has heard.

On September 20 Council self-reported allegations of corrupt behaviour by Parkes Council after those allegations were made public via a social media blog by Cr Glenn Wilson during the 2024 Local Government elections.

The ICAC report was tabled at Council's monthly meeting on Tuesday, which included General Manager Kent Boyd's referral letter, a letter of acknowledgement from ICAC and ICAC's assessment.

ICAC advised Council on November 12, "We have determined that we will not be investigating the issues raised, having regard to the advice and information provided by Council which does not support a likelihood that corrupt conduct might have occurred".

ICAC added in their response, "and given that certain allegations have already been considered by the Commission in relation to Council’s previous section 11 report."

Upon tabling the report prepared by Mr Boyd, Mayor Neil Westcott read to the meeting "It should be noted that Council has previously self-referred the swimming pool tender allegations to the ICAC, following allegations of corruption made by one of the unsuccessful tenderers".

"Comprehensive information was provided to the ICAC at that time," the report said.

"There is a duty to report allegations of corruption. The higher risk is not reporting, where a duty is required."

Cr Wilson requested a moment to respond to the report, claiming that Council "only reported one item, not various items".

He believed the example provided wasn't a "claim of corruption" but instead one of poor management.

"The letter clearly pointed to the blog and that was one example," Mr Boyd said.

Mr Boyd's letter listed Cr Wilson's URL address to his blog and provided one example of "multiple allegations".

"I can't provide any more information than that. All the information is on the blog, was referred to ICAC," Mr Boyd said.

"ICAC had the link. They had the chance to look at it, they had the chance to review it.

"This is their response."

As per Council's recommendation, councillors agreed to receive and note the report, and to note the ICAC self-referred allegation of corrupt conduct is now concluded.
