School Infrastructure NSW – allegations concerning former chief executive, staff and others (Operation Landan)
Year: 2025
Status: Current
The ICAC is investigating whether, between 2017 and about 2024, then School Infrastructure NSW (SINSW) chief executive Anthony Manning and other SINSW staff or contractors partially exercised their official functions by:
- intentionally subverting appropriate recruitment practices to benefit friends and business associates
- improperly awarding contracts to friends and business associates
- misallocating funds from school projects to favour particular businesses and to fund consultancy positions for friends and business associates.
The ICAC is also investigating whether Mr Manning, then human resource strategic advisor Wendy O’Brien, and others, dishonestly exercised their official function by taking reprisal action against certain staff following complaints or public interest disclosures at SINSW.
