DCCEEW sought further information from Western Australia's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation regarding the North West Shelf Project Extension (EPBC 2018/8335), a proposal to extend operations until November 2068 by processing third-party gas and fluids through existing facilities in the Carnarvon Basin. The November 2024 correspondence requests details on any appeals related to Matters of National Environmental Significance received during the state's 21-day public review period and asks for copies of the WA Appeals Convenor Report and Environment Minister's decision. DCCEEW indicated its intention to align EPBC Act approval conditions with Western Australian Ministerial Statement conditions to avoid duplicative requirements. The disclosure does not include the final EPBC approval decision, environmental impact assessment findings, or details of specific environmental matters addressed in the assessment.
