The chief executive officer of Parks Victoria, Bradley Fauteux, has been sacked by the State Government over allegations of inappropriate conduct.

Environment Minister Lily D'Ambrosio confirmed Mr Fauteux was asked to resign.

She said the board would ask the Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC) to investigate the allegations.

Chair of the Parks Victoria board Andrew Fairley said the chief executive was sacked "as a result of unacceptable conduct in relation to integrity" which breached its ethics policy and public sector code of conduct.

"This constituted a significant failure by him in fulfilling duties and obligations to Parks Victoria as the CEO," Mr Fairley said in a statement.

Mr Fauteux came to the top job at Parks Victoria in August last year after working with the parks service in Canada.
