Allegation against the Honourable TM Mackenroth in respect of land at Elimbah East: A report from the CMC

On 30 July 2009, two days after the release of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 (2009 SEQ plan), a newspaper article published by the Courier-Mail implied that the Honourable TM Mackenroth, a retired former Deputy Premier of Queensland, had improperly influenced a review process by which certain land came to be included in the urban footprint contained in the 2009 SEQ plan.

Following publication of the newspaper article, the Premier wrote to the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) requesting that the allegation concerning Mr Mackenroth be investigated.
