'Planner said yes after sex and bribes'


Allegations of corruption and inappropriate sexual relations involving a former Wollongong Council officer and high profile developers took centre stage at an independent commission against corruption (ICAC) public hearing that began in Sydney this morning.

Much of the inquiry will examine the role of former Wollongong town planner Beth Morgan, who assessed a number of developments at the same time she was allegedly involved in sexual relationships with the developers. Ms Morgan slept with the men at different times in hotels.


Mr Hemmings said Ms Morgan had approved several non-conforming developments in the city, including the $31 million Victoria Square development and the $100 million Quatro development, which is yet to be built. "It will be alleged that Ms Morgan developed an improper relationship with developers and it included unprotected sexual intercourse, oral sex and anal sex. Clad in a tight fit pinstriped skirt suit, Ms Morgan will give evidence of her sex affairs.
