Developer John Woodman was confronted with evidence that he deposited $15,000 in cash in early 2014 into the credit card account of a state Liberal candidate for the seat of Cranbourne and Casey councillor Geoff Ablett.Mr Woodman withdrew the money in two lots and then deposited it using an unsigned slip into Cr Ablett's credit card account, counsel assisting IBAC Michael Tovey, QC said.
“He was fearful his credit card and the extent of it and the fact he was incapable of continuing to meet his monthly payments that he requested my assistance.” IBAC’s Operation Sandon is the most significant probe into alleged planning-related corruption in Victoria in decades with its examination of land deals in Melbourne’s sprawling south-east.The inquiry is focussing on major rezoning applications in Casey including one involving developer Leighton and another at Brompton Lodge in Cranbourne South.
The council had opposed the rezoning in 2014 but backflipped and supported it the following year. The rezoning proposal is now with planning minister Richard Wynne.
