The Minister for Local Government, Gabrielle Upton, has referred a report into Auburn Council to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, after a public inquiry ordered by her predecessor was unable to compel witnesses to answer questions.

Richard Beasley SC conducted the inquiry into the former Auburn Council, which was thrust into the spotlight by its former deputy mayor Salim Mehajer's famously extravagant 2015 wedding which caused unauthorised street closures in Lidcombe and drew national media attention.

"It really was the wedding that killed the council," Ms Upton told parliament, as she tabled the report on Thursday.

Ms Upton said the inquiry found that Mr Mehajer "may have breached the disclosure provisions in the Local Government Act" relating to the sale of council-owned property to a company associated with him, and recommended that a review be conducted into road closing procedures to give notice to residents so they could lodge objections.
