Overview
For phase 1 decommissioning of the Northern Endeavour, the floating production storage and offtake facility must be disconnected to enable towing.
Our department submitted a referral for this proposed action (Ref: EPBC 2022/09327) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) in August 2022.
The referral was deemed a controlled action by a delegate of the Minister for the Environment and Water on 24 November 2022. The delegate determined the action is to be assessed by preliminary documentation.
We seek to balance environmental, social and economic considerations throughout the decommissioning process.
