Thank you, Senator Waters. If it is already a safeguard facility and an additional action which is likely to result in increased scope 1 emissions is approved under the EPBC Act, the minister responsible for the EPBC Act will notify the minister for climate change, the climate change secretary and the Climate Change Authority of the nature of this change and the quantum relating to the action. That would then allow each of those people or bodies to carry out their functions in relation to compliance with the emissions requirements and the objects of the act.
