The proposed 15,000 square meter datacentre by GreenSquare in Hazelmere, located 15 kilometers east of Perth, has been withdrawn due to strong community opposition. The 120-megawatt facility was intended to support cloud computing and artificial intelligence but faced backlash for its potential impact on culturally significant sites, including Aboriginal heritage locations and a nearby primary school. The City of Swan council's review attracted nearly 1,900 public submissions, leading to a recommendation to reject the proposal due to concerns over excessive noise from emergency diesel generators during outages. GreenSquare's CEO, Charles Penny, stated that the decision to withdraw was not made lightly, highlighting the need for balanced planning frameworks for datacentres in Western Australia. Community leaders, including Francesca Flynn, celebrated the withdrawal, emphasizing the importance of protecting local heritage and environmental integrity. The decision is seen as a significant victory for the Hazelmere community, with local MP Tania Lawrence acknowledging the constructive engagement of residents throughout the process.
