"When the NSW Police confirmed that the document was falsified,it was the community's expectation that the truth would surface,and that the minister would be held accountable,"she said.
"I am shocked and disappointed the AFP will not further investigate the matter and shed light on a situation that has further eroded the community's faith in the federal government.
"Just because he ignores the facts on climate change,doesn't mean the minister can make up figures to distract Australians from his failure of leadership."
Councillor Moore made the comments while releasing her plan for Sydney to reach"net zero emissions"in 2040,a decade earlier than the original ambition.
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese and legal affairs spokesman Mark Dreyfusargued the false information was used to influence an elected official,Ms Moore,and therefore broke the law.
Mr Taylor welcomed the news the AFP had finalised the matter.
"The Labor Party has a track record of using police referrals as a political tool. The leader of the opposition and shadow attorney-general's pursuit of this matter is a shameful abuse of their office and a waste of our policing agencies'time,"Mr Taylor said in response to the AFP statement.
Mr Albanese said the AFP statement did not answer a key question about who altered the document.
"They can't say they don't know because,quite clearly,someone does know,"Mr Albanese said.
"We know it didn't come from the City of Sydney because the police,in their investigation,went to the City of Sydney and went through their data."
The City of Sydney made a trove of computer data available to NSW police investigators to check on Mr Tayor's claim about the download,with the council insisting its website had not been altered to show the information the minister claimed.

The allegedly doctored page from the council's annual report showing $15.9 million in travel expenses for councillors was sent toThe Daily Telegraph in October,which cited the incorrect figure and quoted Mr Taylor accusing the council of hypocrisy over climate change.
While the AFP found Mr Taylor did not falsify information,it made no public finding on the staff within his office and whether they had received or created the information at the heart of the affair.
Mr Taylor's officerefused to release emails and other documents in response to a freedom of information request fromThe Sydney Morning Herald andThe Age.
NSW Police originally investigated the matter,before passing it over to the AFP because the document may have allegedly been doctored in Canberra.
Labor's environment spokesman Mark Butler said two police investigations had failed to show where Mr Taylor's office got the figures from.
"If Angus Taylor continues to refuse to come clean,then the Prime Minister must order a proper,independent and transparent investigation into his minister,and commit to making the findings public,"Mr Butler said.
