The Crime and Misconduct Commission has completed its assessment of information received concerning former Director-General of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Co-ordinator General, Ross Rolfe.

The information raised the issue as to whether Mr Rolfe had acted improperly, while in his senior public servant position, in relation to government processes concerning property developer Mirvac and Tennis Queensland in the redevelopment of the Tennyson Powerhouse site and the Animal Research Institute site.

Part of the inquiries conducted focussed on whether Mr Rolfe obtained any improper benefit by purchasing two units at the Tennyson Powerhouse site from Mirvac.

After having conducted a large number of interviews and having relevant files reviewed, the CMC found no evidence that Mr Rolfe received any improper benefits. The evidence shows that he bought the units after he had tendered his resignation from his government position, and at market value.

Also, the CMC did not find any evidence that Mr Rolfe acted improperly in relation to government processes concerning the redevelopment of the two sites and consequently no further action is to be taken.
