The Star confirms Don Pasquariello as non-executive director

The appointment adds to a series of recent board-level changes as the operator continues to reshape its governance structure.

Australia.- The Star Entertainment Group has confirmed the appointment of Don Pasquariello as non-executive director, effective April 30, after securing all required regulatory and ministerial approvals.

The company had initially announced Pasquariello’s proposed appointment in November 2025, subject to regulatory clearance. He is currently the chair of the Oliver Hume Property Group of Companies and an Advisory Board director of Villawood Properties Group. He is also a director of St Vincents Institute of Medical Research Limited and a director of Jesuit Education Australasia Limited.

“Pasquariello’s expertise spans audit, business strategy and processes, corporate governance, risk management and regulatory compliance,” the company said.

The Star has been seeking to stabilise its corporate structure and rebuild confidence among regulators, investors, and stakeholders. CEO and Managing Director Bruce Mathieson Jr authorised the appointment.

The latest addition comes amid a series of governance updates at The Star. Throughout April, the company has made multiple board-level adjustments. Earlier this month, The Star appointed Grant Bowie as a non-executive director, bringing extensive regional experience in integrated resort operations. The group also confirmed the addition of Brooke Lindsay as independent non-executive director, reinforcing its focus on governance, compliance, and strategic oversight.

Earlier this week, the Star Entertainment Group reported mixed results for the third quarter of its financial year. Losses were reduced, but so was revenue. According to the report, group revenue for the period ended March 31 reached AU$266m (US$173m), down 12 per cent quarter-on-quarter and flat compared to the prior corresponding period. This was attributed to seasonal softness and lower gaming visitation, particularly in Sydney. The company posted an EBITDA loss of just AU$1m (US$720,000), an improvement from the AU$24m (US$15.6m) loss recorded a year earlier. The previous quarter had seen positive EBITDA of AU$6m (US$3.9m) due to a one-off revenue adjustment.
