Greenpeace Australia Pacific submitted a reconsideration request on 19 March 2025 under section 78A of the EPBC Act regarding the North West Shelf Project Extension (EPBC 2018/8335) in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, which received a controlled action decision from the Minister's delegate on 3 May 2019. Greenpeace argued that substantial new information about two related projects—the Browse to North West Shelf Development (EPBC 2018/8319) and Browse Carbon Capture and Storage Project (EPBC 2024/10028)—constituted relevant impacts that were unavailable to the original decision maker and should trigger reconsideration under section 78(1). The department recommended that the reconsideration request did not meet statutory requirements under section 78A(2) of the EPBC Act and regulation 4AA.01
