Administrator Kibble – new anti-corruption process now "firmly established"
Posted by reformwcc on October 31, 2008
From ABC 97.3 website:
“Earlier this week, Independent Commission Against Corruption commissioner Jerrald Cripps QC referred to a situation under the previous elected council, where a planner, four levels below councillors, effectively approved by herself a $30 million development, under delegated authority.
She was involved with the developer at the time.
Administrator Gabrielle Kibble says it is no longer possible for one person to sign off on a development application (DA).
“The processes have now been firmly established in the planning area that will leave no one person in control of a DA in a way that may have happened in the past,” she said.
“There is to be scrutiny and a second person at least involved.” “
