A former Melbourne council manager has confessed to pinching nearly half a million dollars from ratepayers in an invoicing scam.

Andrew James Williamson was promoted to infrastructure manager at Frankston City Council in 2016, at the same time as he was submitting false invoices for $460,000 of works that were never done.
