The CCC commenced Operation Belcarra to determine whether candidates committed offences under the Local Government Electoral Act 2011 that could constitute corrupt conduct, and to identify practices that may give rise to actual or perceived corruption, and reforms to help prevent or decrease corruption risks and increase public confidence. The CCC has found widespread non-compliance with legislative obligations relating to local government elections and political donations. This non-compliance is largely caused by a deficient legislative and regulatory framework. The CCC's 31 recommendations will strengthen equity, transparency, integrity and accountability in local governments throughout Queensland. Taken together, they will create new obligations for candidates, councillors, donors and the ECQ and form the basis of a more stringent regulatory framework.
