The Valhalla Gas Exploration and Appraisal Program (EPBC 2024/10006) underwent preliminary documentation assessment by DCCEEW between March and September 2025. Documents show DCCEEW issued a Request for Information to the proponent on 19 March 2025, requiring updated preliminary documentation in a single, objective format with sufficient detail to avoid supplementary searches and enable independent assessment of conclusions. Correspondence between DCCEEW's Environment Assessments West Branch and the proponent (involving multiple contractors including Black Mountain Energy and Bennett Resources) indicates discussions about submission format, portal updates, and scheduling of meetings to address information gaps. The release comprises 127 pages of assessment correspondence but specific environmental impacts, scientific findings, or regulatory decisions remain redacted or unavailable in this excerpt.
