The director behind an embattled Queensland scaffolding company, estimated to owe about $2m in debts, has placed a second construction company into liquidation.
The Birtinya-based company Australis Constructions Pty Ltd entered liquidation on Monday, September 2, appointing liquidator Nick Combis to complete the winding up.
Australian Securities and Investments Commission documents show Scott Peter Jury was appointed as the director of the company in June this year.
The company was first registered in August 2018, according to ASIC documents.
The collapse of the construction company comes weeks after a separate entity, Australis Scaffolding Pty Ltd, was placed into voluntary administration.
Australis Scaffolding operated offices from Maryborough to the Lockyer Valley.
Mr Jury is listed on the ASIC documents as a director of both the scaffolding and construction companies.
A report to the creditors of Australis Scaffolding, published to the corporate regulator in August, outlined the scaffolding company had accumulated about $2m in debts.
The report stated among the company’s largest debts are those owed to the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation for about $597,707 and to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for $492,652.
The Trustee for Australis Safety Rail Unit Trust, a related party to the company, is also owed $841,809, according to the creditors report.
Three separate companies were listed in the report as related entities including Australis Roofing Pty Ltd, Australis Investments Pty Ltd and Australis Safety Rail Pty Ltd.
Mr Jury has been contacted by this publication for comment.
