Internal DCCEEW emails from April 2024 routing a stakeholder concern about Western Australian prescribed burns to the appropriate assessment team. An external organisation wrote to Minister Plibersek raising concerns that DBCA's proposed prescribed burns in the Blue Holes and Nornalup areas of Walpole Nornalup National Park would significantly impact EPBC-listed threatened species, specifically Western Ringtail Possum (Critically Endangered) and Baudin's Black-cockatoo (Endangered). The Compliance and Enforcement Branch triaged the matter as a potential EPBC referral, forwarding it to the South WA Assessment Area for review. The letter indicates the proposed burns had not commenced at the time of correspondence, placing the matter outside immediate compliance jurisdiction but within assessment scope.
