FORMER NSW Planning and Lands Minister Tony Kelly engaged in corrupt conduct over a backdated letter to authorise the purchase of a property at Currawong, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has found.
ICAC has recommended the case be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions with respect to the prosecution of Mr Kelly and two senior staffers “for various criminal offences.”
ICAC said in a statement former chief executive of the Land and Property Management Authority (LPMA), Warwick Watkins, had engaged in corrupt conduct in relation to the same matter.
The four former Unions NSW properties at Currawong, Pittwater, were purchased by Mr Watkins on behalf of the NSW Government from then owner, Eco Villages, with contracts exchanged for the $12.2 million purchase on March 15 this year.
