π’ WHAT TO SAY:
"I oppose the proposed Swanbank data centre. I demand urgent action to protect core koala habitat, genuine public consultation, and an independent inquiry into the cumulative environmental and health impacts of industrial development in Swanbank. Please record my concerns and provide a written response."
OUR KOALAS CANNOT OBJECT. BUT WE CAN!
IPSWICH IS NOT WEAK!

A 10-storey data centre has been proposed for Swanbank in Ipswich, on land mapped as core koala habitat.
Ipswich City Council has raised concerns about its height, night-time noise and environmental impact. Around 3,190 native trees would be cleared.
Local Mina Lib has started a petition calling on the council and the Queensland Government to refuse it and require public consultation for future data centres. More than 11,000 people have signed.
