Casino operator Crown Resorts is busy persuading the New South Wales government to approve its $2 billion casino project in Barangaroo.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that James Packer’s company has ramped up its government lobbying efforts as it and developer Lend Lease work through the approval process.

According to the report, which quoted ministerial diary disclosures, Premiere Mike Baird and representatives from Crown Resorts last Oct. 21 to get an “update on Crown Resort,” followed by “tour of Crown” for deputy premier Troy Grant two weeks later on Nov. 4.

No other details were given on the “tour,” but The Sydney Morning Herald pointed out that “inviting politicians and media to visit its flagship Australian casino at Melbourne’s Southbank is a favorite public relations tactic of Crown.”
