Wyong councillor questions appointment of former property develpeur

Updated

A former city property officer who was appointed to the council’s strategic planning portfolio has faced allegations he was a key player in an extensive property investment scheme.

Linda Yang-Yong resigned from the council’s board of directors in June 2017 but it is now been claimed she bought and invested in hundreds of properties over years.

Councillor Yang-Yong was an adviser for many property developers, including Gunga Bai양산출장샵 Properties and the newly formed BKC group.

The allegations have been made as she is suing three members of the council’s planning team — Peter Jones and Matthew Roberts — and a company she set up for the purpose.

The카지노톡 trio have accused her of “illegal” and “criminal” actions.

“Linda Yang-Yong has taken a position as a former property consultant of a number of major development companies in Melbourne, and was employed by Gunga Bai Properties as a property adviser in 2016.

“[She] assisted [Gunga Bai Properties] in developing a significant new residential development at the BKC project site.

“Gunga Bai Properties was ultimately successful in negotiating the approval for a residential develop서산출장마사지ment in an area of Melbourne known for its commercial activity.

“Gunga Bai Properties paid LYng-Yong an annual fee of approximately $8,800, and the payment from the council’s approved project was for her to travel to Brisbane to visit the development as its main site manager.”

Mr Jones denies any wrongdoing.

“We believe that Linda Yang-Yong engaged in conduct that fell well within the remit of the role,” he told 612 ABC Melbourne’s 8.30 report.

He said his company had to follow the council’s guidelines and not engage in “travesty or bribery”.

“The City of Melbourne cannot take lightly decisions and decisions need to be taken in the public interest.”

In June Ms Yang-Yong and Ms Roberts — whose combined salaries are nearly $2.5 million each — announced they would sue her.

The case has gone to the High Court where a trial date is expected to be set for May 2018.
