ALP assistant secretary Rob Allen said the party would wait until the Independent Commission Against Corruption released its third and final report into the Wollongong council corruption scandal, due later this year, before deciding whether to kick out the members for good.

Former councillors Kiril Jonovski, Frank Gigliotti, Val Zanotto and Zeki Esen were named in the ICAC inquiry alongside former Wollongong City Council sustainability manager and senior Labor Party figure Joe Scimone.

The five men were suspended from the party on April 4.

Four of the five have appealed and now the ALP is unwilling to make a final decision on their fate until it receives the ICAC verdict.

"The four appeals have now been referred to the ALP review tribunal for consideration following the release of the final report of the ICAC inquiry into Wollongong City Council," Mr Allen said yesterday.

ICAC released its second report into the matter last week which found developer Frank Vellar and former Wollongong planner Beth Morgan engaged in serious corrupt conduct when they engineered the approval of the $100 million Quattro development.

The council was sacked in March by ICAC commissioner Jerrold Cripps, QC.
