Qld's CCC charges another Ipswich staffer

A council administration staffer has become the 13th person charged by Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission in their investigation into the Ipswich City Council.

The 37-year-old man was charged with misconduct in public office on Tuesday and is the third person charged in a week.

It comes five days after Andrew Antoniolli, who replaced Paul Pisasale as mayor of the scandal-plagued council, stood down to face his own corruption allegations.

The administration officer, who reportedly worked in senior positions with both mayors, will face Brisbane Magistrates Court on May 24.

Acting Mayor Wayne Wendt said the man would remain employed while the matter went to court.

"Until such time as there's a definitive outcome, we will respect our employee's presumption of innocence," he said.

Mr Antoniolli was last Wednesday slapped with seven fraud allegations, while a 54-year-old man was charged with misconduct on the same day.

The CCC revealed last week more charges in relation to its probe into the majority Labor-affiliated council would be made, with the latest allegations bringing the number of people charged to 13.

A total of 67 charges have been laid, but no one has yet been convicted.

Mr Antoniolli's predecessor Paul Pisasale resigned last June citing illness, but was arrested two weeks later on extortion and assault charges and was later slapped with corruption and misconduct charges.

Former chief executive Carl Wulff was also charged before his successor Jim Lindsay stood down in January after being charged in September, while former chief operating officer Craig Maudsley is among other council figures investigated by the CCC.

The issue prompted criticism against the state Labor government for not acting sooner, with Local Government Minister Stirling Hinchliffe responding by asking the council to show cause why it should not be dismissed.

The 11-person council has vowed to fight to stay in power.
