NSW commission keeps Star Sydney gaming licence suspended for six months

Enforcement & compliance

The NSW Independent Casino Commission decided to keep Star Sydney’s gaming-floor licence suspended for a further six months after reviewing its operations. The regulator said the suspension would remain in force until 1 March 2026, and sought ministerial approval to extend manager Mr Weeks’s appointment until 31 March 2026 unless ended earlier.
