Transition Town Guildford

Transition Town Guildford Cultivating a strongly connected community and a healthy environment in Guildford and surrounds.

Transition Initiatives are an emerging and evolving approach to community-level sustainability, which began in England in 2005 and has rapidly spread around the world since then. Transition Initiatives are based on four key assumptions:
1) That life with drastically lower energy consumption is inevitable, and that it’s better to plan for it than to be taken by surprise.

2) That our settlements an

d communities presently lack the resilience to enable them to weather the severe energy shocks that will accompany peak oil.

3) That we have to act collectively, and we have to act now.

4) That by unleashing the collective genius of those around us to creatively and proactively design our energy descent, we can build ways of living that are more connected, more enriching and that recognise the biological limits of our planet.

We don't want this ugly Data Centre!

Please make a submission by Monday, the 30th of March:
https://swanengage.swan.wa.gov.au/da-62026-data-centre

A massive 24/7 data centre, powered by the equivalent of dozens of train engines—proposed next to a river, a hospital and a school.

You feedback in essential - have your say
Submission close 30 March 5 PM
https://swanengage.swan.wa.gov.au/da-62026-data-centre

🚨 THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO BUILD NEXT TO A SCHOOL, A HOSPITAL AND OUR RIVER 🚨

A building bigger than multiple warehouses…
Running 24/7…
Powered by what is essentially a row of 88 train engines…
Right next to the Helena River.
Right next to a school.
Right next to the new Hospital Hub
This is not “light industry.”

This is a massive industrial facility being pushed into one of the most sensitive parts of our community.

💧 Water use? Unclear.
🔊 Noise? Downplayed.
⚡ Power? Not even secured.
👉 Don’t be misled — this is not a “must-build-here” site. It’s just where they’ve chosen to put it.

And yet we’re being asked to accept it.
You can literally fit several Bunnings inside this building; and lined the outside with machinery the size of locomotive engines, stacked 3 high.

Have you ever heard a quiet locomotive?

This is not normal.
This is not appropriate.

And this is not the right place.

👉 If this doesn’t feel right to you — it’s because it isn’t.
Say no. Refuse this proposal.

SUBMISSION CLOSE: 5 pm on 30 March
Everyone can make a submission, you do not need to live in the City of Swan. A short submission is sufficient. If you are concerned you can select the OBJECT option and say that:

“This proposal is incomplete, inconsistent, and in the wrong location"
"The risks to the community and the river are not properly assessed"

The LHA submission can be seen below in 9 separate images (apologies they are a bit out of sequence). If you would like a copy email us at: [email protected]

Forward your submission to the City of Swan Councillors, particularly Sarah Howelett, [email protected], and the local MLA for Hazelmere, Cassie Rowe: [email protected]

Communities are fighting energy intensive Data Centres all over the world...and now we are fighting one proposed near our beautiful Helena River.

The plant equipment proposed for the project includes 64 evaporative-cooled chillers and 88 diesel generators. Lots of trees will be cut down...in short, this is corporate interests over our communities wellbeing.

Please make a submission to stop this crazy development:
