Reminder: Community rally tomorrow, 2pm!

A reminder that there will be a Community Rally for a Data Centre Moratorium tomorrow:

Sunday 9 August, 2pm
Hansen Reserve, 35A Roberts St, West Footscray VIC 3012, Australia
Find out more and RSVP here

The rally calls for a moratorium on data centres in Victoria until there are better planning measures in place that protect communities and environment. 

At the rally, you’ll hear from:

• Experts discussing data centre policy in Australia and why stronger regulation is needed
• West Footscray residents sharing what it is like to live next to a hyperscale data centre
• Community groups opposing proposed data centres in other parts of Australia
• Local political candidates running for the seat of Footscray, who will be invited to outline their position on data centre development.

Following the speeches, we will take a short community walk past the proposed site of the Perri Melbourne Data Centre and the operational NEXTDC M3 facility and proposed extension to see the scale of the sites and hear more about its operations and proposed expansion.

This is a peaceful, family-friendly community rally. Everyone is welcome.
