DCCEEW granted a 20 business day extension to the statutory decision timeframe for the Mount Gilead Stage 2 Residential Development (EPBC 2019/8587), moving the approval decision deadline to mid-September 2024. Internal emails from August 2024 show departmental staff prepared a brief, decision notice, and letter to the proponent requesting the extension. One officer initially included justification about delays in publishing the final Public Document but this reasoning was removed during clearance, with a supervisor noting that publishing delays were not suitable grounds for extension as the process ran concurrently with the 40 business day statutory timeframe. The package was cleared for ministerial decision by the Acting Director of the Nature Positive Regulation Division. No substantive environmental assessment details, species impacts, or scientific advice regarding the development itself are disclosed in these procedural documents.
