Mehajer, the former deputy mayor of Auburn, will be released from jail on July 18 after the State Parole Authority handed down its decision today.
He was sentenced to a period of seven years and nine months for several offences including domestic violence offences against his former partner and forging his lawyer’s signature, with a non-parole period of three years and nine months.
Mehajer’s strict parole conditions include no contact with his victim, no contact with bikie members and a ban on visiting the Central Coast local government area.
The commissioner of corrective services had opposed Mehajer’s release, citing a risk of reoffending, a lack of change in attitude and an “absence of insight”.
The State Parole Authority assessed Mehajer’s risk of reoffending as “medium”.
It was also noted Mehajer had completed all available prison programs in custody.
He will also attend programs not available to him in custody to address his offending and will undergo ongoing treatment with a private psychologist.
Mehajer broke down in court in October last year after claiming he was not given a fair trial while defending himself against domestic violence allegations.
He told the court at the time he had recently been returned to solitary confinement for his own protection.
Prosecutors then said Mehajer had a history of lodging applications and appeals, which had the effect of delaying his proceedings.
Mehajer rose to notoriety when his lavish wedding celebrations shut down a street in 2015.
