Probity investigations

In assessing a proposed change in control or ownership, the State must consider whether any probity concerns arise. In most projects, these issues will be assessed as part of the due diligence conducted by the State in considering whether to consent to the change. In some projects more sensitive to probity concerns, the project deed will regulate probity issues separately from the change in control or ownership process. The contract director should ensure that such mechanisms in the project deed are appropriately applied to any proposed change.
