These documents concern the Canberra grassland earless dragon and EPBC Act approval 2009/4748 for Canberra Airport's northern road upgrade. In September 2023, DCCEEW's Post Approvals team received a request to revoke the previous approval due to potential impacts on the threatened species. Canberra Airport submitted new options in August 2023, which the department was reviewing. The correspondence indicates public consultation on considerations and options was planned for October-November 2023. A separate May 2023 media inquiry references ABC reporting on the ACT government updating its threatened species list to include the Canberra grassland earless dragon, suggesting the species' conservation status was generating public attention during the approval review process.
