Environmental record
Greenfinch clearing application and redesign
2018–2020 · issuer reported · medium materiality
The original Greenfinch clearing application was refused and the appeal dismissed in 2019 because of environmental impacts; a revised, smaller 16.6-hectare clearing permit was subsequently granted subject to conditions. The later 2025 transaction booklet reports final environmental approval in January 2020 and subsequent clearing and mining.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. He was managing director; the record concerns company permitting and does not establish personal misconduct.
Relevance: Shows an environmental permitting setback and subsequent redesign.
