WIM Resource employee Murray Wilson will contest four charges of falsifying documents at a contest hearing set for February 18 and 19.

Wilson, 55, appeared at Horsham Magistrates Court on Monday for a contest mention, where the progression of the case was discussed.

The court heard there were four complainants in the case, but 25 people on the police’s list of witnesses – most of whom would not be called to provide evidence at the two-day hearing in February.

A  special mention on January 21 will determine if evidence from Victoria Police’s cyber crime unit will be available in time for the February hearing. 

The charges against Wilson relate to May 26, 2023, where he is accused of making a false document with the intention to use it to induce members of the Avonbank Mineral Sands Project Inquiry and Advisory Committee as part of the Environmental Effects Statement process to approve the Avonbank mineral sands mine at Dooen.

The charge states that Wilson created documents in the names of four people without their permission. WIM Resource has suspended Wilson pending the outcome of the case.
