Ipswich City Council is set to be sacked under new legislation announced by Stirling Hinchcliffe yesterday.

The legislation will be discussed in state parliament today, with the Ipswich City Council to be dissolved and administrators put in place until 2020.

Hinchcliffe cited dysfunction and lack of financial stability in the area as one of the primary motivations for the legislation, with Ipswich City Councillors calling the decision “undemocratic.”
