Woodside Energy submitted correspondence to NOPSEMA on 4 July 2023 requesting that its response letter to the Environmental Defenders Office (dated 3 July 2023) be considered during NOPSEMA's assessment of multiple Scarborough environment plans. The four environment plans under assessment covered: a 4D B1 marine seismic survey, seabed intervention and trunkline installation, drilling and completions, and subsea infrastructure installation for the WA-61-L and WA-62-L blocks. Woodside asserted that consultation with EDO's clients and Save Our Songlines pursuant to regulation 11A of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage (Environment) Regulations 2009 was complete, and requested NOPSEMA include this correspondence in its decision-making materials. The document does not disclose the content of Woodside's substantive response to EDO or NOPSEMA's subsequent regulatory decision.
