Detailed anti-corruption policies being adopted within Wollongong City Council will not be released to the public as they could be viewed as a "how to guide" on corruption.
Council administrators last night adopted a new Prevention of Fraud and Corrupt Conduct Policy.
The document spells out the differing responsibilities across four levels, from employees to supervisors, directors/managers and the general manager.
But it contains very few specific actions or policies.
Administrator Robert McGregor said the full policy would not be released.
"This document reinforces what we have said that we are zero tolerance on corruption," he said.
"It will be supported by training for staff and also detailed protocols."
Mr McGregor said several recommendations by the Independent Commission Against Corruption had been adopted.
