The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption ("the Commission") has assessed the NSW Legislative Council Select Committee on the proposal to develop Rosehill Racecourse's ("the Committee"), Proposal to develop Rosehill Racecourse Report 2 ("the Report"), which the Committee referred to the Commission on 6 December 2024. As noted in the Report, it was referred 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 has unanimously determined that the information provided does not indicate a reasonable likelihood of involving corrupt conduct. The Commission will therefore not be pursuing the matter. The Commission has written to the Committee today, advising of its decision.
The Commission's decision also follows an earlier referral, canvassing analogous allegations. The author of that referral has been similarly advised.

The Commission will not be commenting further.
