Police were preparing a Court Attendance Notice on Tuesday afternoon to serve the ex-Lake Macquarie councillor, who was released from prison in December - 11 years into his maximum sentence of 13 years and eight months.

"Following an investigation by officers from the Eastern Beaches police area command, a Court Attendance Notice will be served on a 62-year-old man for failing to comply with reporting obligations," a NSW Police spokeswoman said.

Orkopoulos is expected to face court over the alleged breach on March 4.

The NSW State Parole authority will consider on Wednesday morning whether to revoke his parole over the alleged breach.

The Newcastle Herald reported late last year that Corrective Services NSW commissioner Peter Severin filed a submission to the NSW State Parole Authority opposing Orkopoulos' bid for freedom, advising "that release to parole should be approached with a high degree of caution".

The Serious Offenders Review Council and Community Corrections supported the former Labor minister's release.

Orkopoulos was jailed in 2008 after he was convicted of 30 charges including multiple counts of having sex with a male between 10 and 18, indecent assault, supplying prohibited drugs and possessing child pornography.

The crimes were committed between 1995 and 2006.

Orkopoulos was a Lake Macquarie councillor between 1995 and 1999 and was elected to NSW Parliament as Swansea MP in 1999, where he held his position until 2006, serving as a minister in the later years.
