The correspondence concerns the Browse Carbon Capture and Storage Project (EPBC 2024/10028), a Woodside-referred action under the EPBC Act. The documents are internal departmental emails addressing referral decision-making timelines. DCCEEW sought agreement from Woodside on 28 January 2025 to extend the statutory decision timeframe from 31 January to 21 February 2025. Woodside did not respond until 4 February 2025, after the original deadline had passed, rendering the decision formally late and removing the statutory timeframe constraint. By late February 2025, DCCEEW indicated it had sufficient information to progress the referral decision and did not anticipate requesting further information from Woodside. No quantified environmental data, scientific assessments, or decision outcomes are disclosed in these procedural communications.
