What happened
Commissioner Ross Glover published a 518-page final report on an inquiry into a council's conduct. The investigation, which cost taxpayers at least $4 million, examined councillors’ conduct and the council’s handling of finances and over $150 million in state government grants for infrastructure. Glover concluded that the council was not entirely free from error, but found no evidence of widespread or systemic failures by the governing body.

Why it matters
The inquiry reviewed the council's performance in its statutory functions, including property purchases and financial management. The findings are expected to put pressure on the Minns government and Ron Hoenig, who had previously described allegations against the council as severe.
