The Victorian Government is improving transparency in the planning system and increasing accountability in local government to help build more homes and ensure councillors are serving the best interests of their communities.
In response to the July 2023 Operation Sandon report, 32 of the Independent Broad-based Anti Corruption Commission’s (IBAC) recommendations made to Government have been accepted either in full or in-principle, with one accepted in part.
Many of IBAC's recommendations to reduce the risk of corruption in the planning system and make it more transparent and consistent will be implemented as part of a review into the Planning and Environment Act.
The Victorian Government has provided updates to IBAC on the actions taken to implement the 32 recommendations.
