This disclosure involves DCCEEW seeking third-party comments from Energy Advisory Panel membership on release of the EAP's charter and operating principles under a FOI request. The document details the department's consultation process with the EAP secretariat regarding potential exemptions under the FOI Act 1982, specifically section 47B concerning Commonwealth-State relations and confidential communications. The email invites the EAP to comment by 20 August 2025 on whether release could damage Commonwealth-State relations or divulge confidentially communicated information. The charter and operating principles were agreed to by State and Territory Energy Ministers through the Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council. This disclosure does not involve environmental impact assessment, species protection, EPBC Act decisions, or quantified environmental data—it concerns administrative governance of an energy advisory body.
