A second inquiry into Star Entertainment Group’s suitability to hold a casino license for The Star Sydney will be held primarily in public, the regulator has determined.

Star announced the update by way of an Australian Securities Exchange filing on Monday in which it confirmed it had been informed by the NSW Independent Casino Commission (NICC) that the inquiry would be mostly public and that Adam Bell SC had been appointed to preside over the inquiry. Bell is the same man who oversaw the original inquiry that ultimately deemed Star unsuitable.
