Star Entertainment Group has received a six-month extension from the Australian state government of Queensland to demonstrate suitability in operating 바카라s in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The initial 12-month deadline has now been extended until May 31st next year.

This should allow Star ample time to showcase its capabilities in managing the Queens Wharf construction and its existing Gold Coast 바카라.

Emphasis on compliance

Queenslands Attorney-General, Yvette DAth, has approved The Stars 640-point remediation plan, with the Groups CEO, Robbie Cooke expressing pleasure at this revelation.

Cooke stated on the matter:

Were pleased to have our remediation plan approved in Queensland. Its an important step on our path to returning to suitability in Queensland and will track and hold us accountable throughout the multi-year program we are committed to delivering.

He emphasised the importance of returning to sustainability in Queensland.

Failure to demonstrate compliance could lead to a 90-day suspension of the groups gaming licence in Queensland. 

Additionally, non-compliance could also lead to further disciplinary actions such as fines of up to AU$5 million.

Acknowledging Stars efforts

Evidence of top-down changes within the Group has been acknowledged, however, it has been noted to be very early in the transformation process.

In conjunction with the extension, the appointment of special manager Nicholas Weeks has been extended a full year.

Jessica Mellors appointment as the CEO of Star Gold Coast earlier in October was also a significant step in the companys organisational restructuring with the aim of improving operational accountability across its properties.
