ICAC Commissioner David Ipp will step down as head of NSW's corruption watchdog next year.
"In opposition I repeatedly expressed my concern that (the Independent Commission Against Corruption's) inner-spring had wound down," Premier Barry O'Farrell told parliament on Thursday.
"There is no doubt that Commissioner Ipp had reinvigorated the organisation and through his efforts and leadership alone restored public confidence in the commission and reminded anyone thinking of doing the wrong thing that they will be found out."
"He departs with the undying gratitude of this parliament and of our state and we wish him a long and healthy retirement."
Mr O'Farrell has proposed Supreme Court judge Megan Latham as Mr Ipp's replacement.
Justice Latham was appointed to the Supreme Court of NSW in 2005 and has previously served on the District Court and acted as a crown prosecutor.
During her time at the Supreme Court, she has overseen the sentencing of some of the state's most infamous criminals, including former nurse Roger Dean, who killed 11 elderly people when he lit fires at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home in 2011.
She also sentenced hitman Haissam Safetli and standover man Lucky Gattellari over their roles in the 2009 murder of Sydney businessman Michael McGurk.
If her appointment is approved, it is expected she will take up the post for five years from January.
The announcement comes after Mr Ipp, who headed the ICAC from 2009, oversaw the explosive inquiry into former NSW Labor heavyweights Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald.
