The Andrews Government has decided to sack Casey council, which has been embroiled in a scandal involving allegedly corrupt land deals, government sources have confirmed.

The decision was made at a Cabinet meeting on Monday and could be enacted in the next day or two. Administrators are expected to be appointed for an extended period, potentially into next year, and elections at Casey Council planned for later this year are expected to be cancelled.

The leader of the state government in the lower house, Jacinta Allan, declined earlier on Monday to comment on whether the council should be sacked, but said legislation could be expedited through State Parliament within one or two days.

“But it does require the cooperation of both houses of parliament and all members,” she said.
