This disclosure documents the final approval process for the Yeelirrie uranium mine (EPBC 2009/4906). On 5-10 April 2019, the Department of Environment and Energy provided Minister Price's office with a decision package via USB drive and email containing seven documents, including a proposed decision briefing and legal considerations report. The briefing package included an assessment report and linked appendices covering conservation advice for three threatened species: Greater Bilby, Black-flanked rock wallaby, and Great desert skink. The disclosure shows internal departmental coordination on the final decision note, with Gregory Manning, Dean Knudson, and James Tregurtha reviewing and amending the file note before submission to the Minister. The document confirms the Minister received the materials and subsequently made a final determination, though the specific decision outcome and any scientific recommendations are not detailed in this excerpt.
