NSW has 90 operating data centres, with another 15 worth $29.4 billion in the planning pipeline. We already have data centres in Bradfield, and more are coming in Macquarie Park and Lane Cove. Overall, how do you feel about the growth of data centres in NSW?
Please select
Very positive
Somewhat positive
Neutral / mixed
Somewhat negative
Very negative
Unsure / need more information
3.
Data centres use large amounts of electricity and water, and bring investment and construction with them. When it comes to data centres being built on the North Shore, which of these matter most to you?
Choose up to three
Please select
Jobs and investment that come and stay in the local economy
Keeping Australian data stored in Australia
Impact on water supply, especially during drought
Effect on NSW's renewable energy transition and climate targets
Air quality and noise from backup diesel generators
Ozone, EMF or other human health concerns
Proximity to homes, schools and hospitals
Transparency about how much energy and water they use
4.
Most large data centres in Australia are built and owned by global technology companies. Which statement is closest to your view?
Please select
Foreign investment is good for NSW — it brings jobs and money we wouldn't otherwise have
Foreign investment is fine, provided these companies pay their fair share of tax and cover their own infrastructure costs
I'm worried we'll repeat the gas experience — our resources used, profits sent offshore, and little return to Australian taxpayers
I don't have a strong view
5.
The Australian Government has recently signed agreements with global technology companies to expand AI and data centre investment in Australia. How well do you feel the government has explained these decisions and consulted the community?
Please select
Very well — I understand the case and feel informed
Reasonably well — but I'd like more detail on the trade-offs
Not well — I've heard about the deals but not the reasoning behind them
Not at all — this is the first I'm hearing of it
Unsure
6.
How confident are you in government to effectively regulate the growth and impact of data centres, including deals between the Government and global AI companies?
Please select
Very confident — the industry and government can manage this between them
Somewhat confident — but we need stronger guardrails and independent oversight
Not confident — regulation isn't keeping pace with the industry
Not at all confident — these deals need far greater scrutiny before they happen
Unsure

Is there anything else you'd like Nicolette to know about your views on data centres?
