Star Entertainment Group’s Hong Kong partners are reportedly looking to replace Star with its local rival Crown Resorts as operator of the casino at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane should the partners complete a deal to acquire Star’s 50% stake in the integrated resort.
According to the Australian Financial Review, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium, who each own 25% of Queen’s Wharf, want to replace Star as casino operator by early 2026.
SkyCity Entertainment Group, which operates SkyCity Adelaide, and American hospitality firm Delaware North, which operates Darwin’s Mindil Beach Casino & Resort, have also been named as potential casino operators for the Brisbane precinct.
