The Queensland government will introduce legislation to dismiss Ipswich City Council and appoint an administrator next month.

Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said if the laws were passed, it would mean an administrator would be appointed until the next local government elections in March 2020.

Last month, Mr Hinchliffe again asked Ipswich councillors to explain why they should not be sacked or suspended, with a second show cause notice issued under newly expanded powers.

Local government reforms passed in May gave Mr Hinchliffe more powers to sack councillors and mayors, and dissolve entire councils, "in the public interest".
