Environmental record
Inherited Telfer tailings and rehabilitation risk
2024–2026 · issuer reported · medium materiality
Greatland’s technical report records a 2024 environmental protection notice concerning suspected potential tailings or water discharge under previous ownership. Its replacement prospectus states remediation work led to that notice being revoked on 14 March 2025, and that TSF7 remained non-operational with further remediation planned. Its FY2026 report says a separate financial-security review was paused pending continued engagement. Final remediation and future financial-security requirements were not independently established.
Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. The original notice and its revocation predated Secrett’s Greatland appointment; the evidence does not attribute any breach or conduct to him.
Relevance: Relevant inherited closure and sustainability oversight context.
