An independent investigation into planning and procurement matters at Baw Baw Shire has cleared officers and councillors of any misconduct.
The investigation was requested by CEO Mark Dupe after allegations were made by a former councillor earlier this year.
While some improvements to processes were suggested, no evidence of wrongdoing was found.
In a statement, the council said it had maintained regular contact with the Local Government Inspectorate (LGI), as well as with the Independent Broad Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC), with both authorities satisfied that Council has not demonstrated any misconduct.
