Councillor Intaj Khan’s name has been finally cleared from alleged investigation by the Local Government Inspectorate.
Earlier this year, Cr. Khan was charged with criminal offences over his alleged failure to properly disclose his vast property and commercial interests in Melbourne’s west. The charges followed a Fairfax Media investigation last year of the Wyndham councillor’s business and property empire, detailing how he was believed to be Victoria’s richest councillor.
Cr. Khan was elected in 2012, holding the Portfolio of Economic Development until 2016. He currently holds the Portfolio of Urban Future, holding the responsibility of the growth, further planning and prospective future development and plans of Wyndham.
Cr. Khan attracted media spotlight after he announced his plans to build a mansion on a 10-acre block in the heart of Tarneit.
Cr. Khan said, “I am glad this saga is finally over. I can get on with my job.”

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
