data centre
moratorium
Community groups across Australia have come together to demand a moratorium on approvals for new data centres and data centre expansions.
We are calling for a moratorium on AI data centre construction in Australia until safeguards for people, communities, cultural heritage and the environment are legislated.
Big Tech corporations are forcing huge data centres onto local communities across Australia (and the rest of the world), with virtually no democratic engagement with local communities, especially First Nations communities.
Australia urgently needs a moratorium on new data centre construction until safeguards for people, communities, cultural heritage, and the environment are legislated.
what we’re calling for
All state and territory governments to urgently implement a moratorium on AI data centre construction until safeguards for people, communities, cultural heritage and the environment are legislated.
Local communities, especially First Nations people communities, to be given democratic input into the location and design of data centres in their neighbourhoods , including the right to say ‘no’.
