The Star's casino licence suspension extended until September 30
The Star's casino licence will remain suspended until at least the end of September, the NSW Independent Casino Commission has said.
The gaming regulator said its body-appointed casino manager, Nick Weeks, would continue to oversee all casino operations until at least September 30.
The casino was found to have leadership and culture issues and is undergoing an ongoing process of remediation.

Weeks' role was set to expire on March 31, but the NICC sought submissions from both him and The Star about the latter's suitability to hold a NSW casino licence.
NICC chief commissioner Philip Crawford said the submissions showed steady improvements in The Star's remediation.
However, uncertainty around The Star's financial situation had slowed progress, and Crawford said the suspension should remain in effect.

Trading on The Star's shares was suspended in February.
"We welcome progress in The Star's remediation efforts and are confident the company is moving in the right direction with its remediation plans," Crawford said.
"The next six months is a critical phase for The Star as it will need to show further progress with its remediation activities whilst also stabilising its finances."
The star will be able to operate gaming facilities under Weeks' extended oversight.
