The company said in its September 2025 quarterly report that Chris Goti (Spartan) joined to lead permitting, heritage and environmental studies across projects; the report PDF was blocked on open, so this is based on the indexed official announcement text. The public sources do not provide a complete chronology or education record; exact identity match is based on name, employer and role. A search lead to a WA regulator project document was inaccessible on open; it was not used as evidence. **Attribution:** Employer context; no individual link established. Documents establish relevant environmental approvals work but do not establish an environmental breach or a complete personal incident record. **Relevance:** Land access, permitting and heritage experience aligns with GG8 approvals work.
