Former director of Nomad Developments Pty Ltd (Nomad Developments), Rohan Rex Greyling of Hope Island Queensland, has been sentenced with making a false or misleading statement to ASIC.
Mr Greyling was convicted and fined $1,000 at the Southport Magistrates Court on 20 October 2025.
Mr Greyling was earlier charged following an ASIC investigation which found that he had lodged a Form 6010 with ASIC to voluntarily deregister Nomad Developments on 20 December 2023, containing a false or misleading declaration that the company had no outstanding liabilities.
Nomad Developments was a Queensland based building company. At the time the Form 6010 was lodged, it is alleged that Nomad Developments had outstanding liabilities of $34,885 owing to Queensland Building and Construction Commission. Mr Greyling was the sole director of Nomad Developments at this time.
Mr Greyling was aware of the debt prior to submitting the Form 6010. As a result of his conviction, Mr Greyling is automatically disqualified from managing corporations for a period of five years.
This matter was prosecuted by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Cth) (CDPP) following a referral from ASIC.
Background
When dealt with summarily, the jurisdictional limit for the offence is 12 months’ imprisonment and/or a fine not exceeding 60 penalty units ($18,780).
Directors of companies must ensure the information provided to ASIC and to be recorded on the public registers is true and accurate. Further, directors need to ensure the affairs of companies are in order before they attempt to deregister them.
