Trying to fast-track data centres?
This is what residents received in the mail today — a planning permit application for a data centre at 44–76 Simcock Ave, Spotswood, with just 14 days to object.

@BenCarrollMP This is great. You know what also great? Leading and showing the world that data centre safety is important and should be 10km minimum distance from people’s hard earned homes. Please withdraw this one from Spotswood immediately.

🔊 This is already what Spotswood sounds like.
Now imagine adding the constant hum of industrial-scale data centres.
No more noise pollution. Spotswood deserves peace, not more industrial noise.

@mezattack@ACarbinesMP@SonyaKilkenny Look how close this proposed data centre will be to the kindergarten, houses and the footy ground. This data centre cannot going ahead. !!
@HobsonsBayCC the new data centre set to be built in Hall St Spotswood is a danger to the local community. Data centres are supposed to be a minimum of 3km away from homes, shopping strips, etc.
@ellensandell It’s outrageous! Spotswood is already inundated with noise pollution near a kindergarten and now they want to add a data centre to the mix!
The proposed Spotswood data centre will use more power than a regional city! This will lock us into burning coal & gas for even longer.
Labor is side-stepping councils & community consultation to let tech billionaires drain our resources for their profit. https://t.co/Z7dszrjmEQ

Disappointed @AlboMP Really disappointed by this decision. At a time when we should be accelerating the transition to clean energy, choosing coal and gas feels like a step backwards. #stopdatacentres
@ErinBrockovich@GretaThunberg AI is thirsty. Data centres consume millions of litres of water while straining power grids & increasing carbon emissions. We can’t sacrifice our planet for the cloud. Stop unchecked data centre expansion! #ClimateAction https://t.co/Eq8UfEdxdq
