Generated summary: written by an AI model from the report text and checked against the cited pages.
The Corruption and Crime Commission reviewed how Main Roads handled misconduct allegations involving two managers.
The Commission considered the external investigation thorough, but found Main Roads had initially done little to address wider misconduct risks.
The Commission made three recommendations covering financial audits, procurement oversight and fixed asset policies.
After considering further action by Main Roads, the Commission concluded that all three recommendations could be closed.
In the body's own words
- Opinion
On the evidence available, the Commission considers the conclusions reached that both managers engaged in misconduct were open to be made.
- Conclusion
The Commission considers all recommendations closed.
Findings, opinions and statements
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Recommendations 3

Undertake audit actions to understand the nature and extent of the misconduct, including but not limited to, a full financial review of the subject officer's credit card.

Notes on this record
- Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
- Date is the date the Commission's report page was published; the report states no date OPAX read.
Coverage
This publisher
- The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
- Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
- The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
- Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
- No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
