The Guardian obtains and publishes the EPA's 2023 draft letter, which details warnings about damage to Scott Reef (home to 1,500+ species), oil spill risks, and threats to endangered marine life. The development awaits approval next year and faces assessment by both state and commonwealth EPAs, with ultimate decision-making power held by environment ministers.
