The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water issued a request for further information on 18 March 2025 regarding Bennett Resources' Valhalla Gas Exploration and Appraisal Program (EPBC 2024/10006), an unconventional gas project approximately 250 kilometres east of Broome in Western Australia's Shire of Derby/West Kimberley. On 14 February 2025, a ministerial delegate determined the proposal constituted a controlled action requiring assessment by preliminary documentation. The department's North WA Assessments Section formally requested additional information under section 95A(2) of the EPBC Act to properly assess environmental impacts. The specific further information requirements were detailed in an attached schedule, with Bennett Resources required to provide updated versions of original referral documents and other materials needed to complete the preliminary documentation assessment process.
