The environment minister, Murray Watt, has given the greenlight to Woodside Energy’s application to extend the life of one of the world’s biggest liquified natural gas projects from 2030 to 2070.
Watt said he had told Woodside he planned to approve the life extension of the North West Shelf gas processing plant, on the Burrup Peninsula in northern Western Australia, with “strict conditions” relating to local air pollution. Woodside has 10 days to respond.
