This FOI disclosure contains email correspondence regarding the Halls Island Standing Camp proposal (EPBC 2018/8177) at Lake Malbena in Tasmania. The documents show internal DCCEEW communications and external correspondence with Daniel Hackett from riverfly.com.au between November and December 2025. A Director from the Nature Positive Regulation Division and an Assistant Director from the Tasmania Assessments Section exchange messages indicating the department was working to enable a decision "as quickly as practicable," though no substantive assessment details, environmental findings, or decision rationale are revealed in the released excerpt. The correspondence reflects procedural delays, with the applicant requesting updates after a month without contact. The documents are heavily redacted under section 22(1)(a) provisions, limiting visibility into the actual assessment process and environmental considerations underlying the EPBC referral.
