Senator Murray Watt, Minister for Environment and Water, wrote to Minister Madeleine King on 28 May 2025 proposing approval of the North West Shelf Project extension in Western Australia's Carnarvon Basin. The proposal involves continuing and extending the project's operating life through processing third-party gas and fluids alongside existing joint venture field resources. The decision relates to environmental assessment under the EPBC Act, specifically addressing impacts on National Heritage values of a national heritage place (EPBC referral 2018/8335). Watt invited King to comment within 10 business days on the proposed approval conditions, particularly regarding economic and social concerns relevant to ecologically sustainable development principles. Assessment documentation was available on the WA EPA website.
