This disclosure comprises a December 2022 email exchange notifying Minister Bowen of the finalized Equinor-Oceanex Energy partnership for offshore wind development in New South Wales. The correspondence confirms FIRB approval and outlines three target projects: the Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm (Hunter Valley), Illawarra Offshore Wind Farm (Illawarra), and Eden Offshore Wind Farm (South Coast). The email indicates the companies intend to submit feasibility licence applications once the Commonwealth declares relevant offshore areas. No environmental assessment data, species impacts, EPBC Act referral details, or departmental scientific advice is contained in this excerpt. The document is primarily administrative notification regarding foreign investment approval and project development timelines.
