Quantum DC announced a pause in the planning approvals program for the Tungkillo Compute and Energy Hub, meaning no development application will be lodged in 2026. The pause came after feedback from more than 350 residents and a consolidated list of 432 questions highlighted local opposition to the proposed hyperscale data centre campus. The developer plans to commission an independent panel of experts to review specialist studies.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The pause reflects broader scrutiny of data centre development, potentially shifting timelines for the project from an original target of 2028 for first-stage operations. This trend suggests increased regulatory risk for large-scale infrastructure projects in the region.
