Data centres
693. Hon Steve Martin to the Minister for Science and Innovation:
I refer to the Western Australia: The southern hemisphere's global hub for data centre operations prospectus launched by the Minister for State Development and the Minister for Innovation and ICT in 2022.
(1) Since the launch of the prospectus, how many data centres have been constructed in WA?
(2) How many of those are currently operational?
Hon Stephen Dawson replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. This answer is current as at 9 September, noting that some decisions have been announced since that time.
(1) Two have been constructed and one is under construction.
(2) Two are currently operational.
