NICC keeps The Star Sydney licence suspended and extends manager’s term
New South Wales’ Independent Casino Commission (NICC) confirmed on 24 September that The Star Sydney’s casino licence would remain suspended. The commission extended independent manager Nicholas Weeks’ appointment until 31 March 2026, unless ended earlier, after finding that The Star had not demonstrated the reforms needed to lift the suspension. The Star chief executive Steve McCann said the company remained committed to its remediation plan.
Operators and investors should account for continued suspension while The Star works to demonstrate reforms to the commission.
