Community groups across Victoria have come together to demand a moratorium on approvals for new data centres and data centre expansions.

Protect our communities

The Victorian government is fast-tracking approvals on a massive wave of huge data centres and giving councils and residents little opportunity for input. Communities have been living with small data centres for years. But the planned hyperscale AI data centres are on a completely different scale. People around the world are demanding restrictions.

Do we need AI data centres? Do we need AI?

Governments argue that hosting AI data centres is necessary for our 'sovereign capability'. But is it? Communities are suffering unacceptable impacts, mass surveillance is increasing, and not all of us want a future with robots doing our jobs. Meanwhile, rogue AI agents are hacking websites, and expert whistleblowers are warning of existential risks from AI. What future would ordinary people choose if we had more say?
