The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (“the Commission”) has determined that there was no corrupt conduct involved in the Rosehill Racecourse development proposal, following their assessment of the report referred to them by the NSW Legislative Council Select Committee on the Proposal to Develop Rosehill Racecourse (“the Committee”).
The Proposal to Develop Rosehill Racecourse Report 2 (“the Report”) was referred by the Committee to the Commission on 6 December 2024 because of “concerns regarding direct dealings and conflicts of interest as part of the proposal to develop Rosehill Racecourse”.
The Commission’s Assessment Panel (comprising the three commissioners and senior staff) considered the concerns identified in the Report and unanimously determined that the information provided did not indicate a reasonable likelihood of corrupt conduct having occurred. The Commission will, therefore, not be commencing an investigation into the matter.
The Commission’s decision also follows an earlier referral, canvassing analogous allegations. The author of that referral was similarly advised.
