DCCEEW conducted a courtesy consultation with NOPSEMA regarding a FOI request from an environmental organization seeking correspondence about Woodside Energy's Browse Carbon Capture and Storage Project (EPBC 2024/10028). The request covers DCCEEW and ministerial correspondence with Woodside from August 15, 2025 onwards, excluding publicly available information, prior FOI releases, personal details, and public comments. DCCEEW identified documents relating to NOPSEMA and requested the authority's response by March 13, 2026, asking whether NOPSEMA wished to object to release of any information and on what grounds. The consultation appears procedural, with DCCEEW notifying NOPSEMA of documents in its possession that may trigger NOPSEMA's interests in offshore petroleum safety and environmental management related to the proposed carbon capture and storage project.
