Environmental record

South Australian environmental direction and reported incidents

Direction issued October 2025; register accessed 31 October 2026 · documented · medium materiality

The South Australian regulator lists a 7 October 2025 environmental direction for Iluka (Eucla Basin) over undue environmental damage and a breach of program outcomes on MPL 110, a Jacinth-Ambrosia licence. The register is currently marked closed but gives no closure date or incident detail. Iluka separately reported three Level 3 environmental incidents in 2025; the reviewed sources do not establish that any one is the subject of the direction.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Executive role overlaps the company period; the register does not identify individual responsibility or establish which incident triggered the direction.

Relevance: Environmental oversight and evidence of a documented regulatory matter.
