SCARBOROUGH PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVALS

Woodside has been notified that the Australian Conservation Foundation Incorporated (ACF) has commenced proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia in relation to the environmental assessment of the Scarborough Project. The ACF is seeking an injunction to restrain offshore project activities.

The Scarborough Project has been the subject of rigorous environmental assessments by a range of regulators including the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority, the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority.

Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said: "The Scarborough Project is underway and proceeding to schedule after receiving all primary environmental approvals.

"The project will deliver significant local and national benefits in the form of employment, tax revenue and reliable gas supply in the energy transition for decades to come."

"Woodside will vigorously defend its position in these proceedings", she said.
