Territory Labor reverses stance, backs moratorium on large-scale data centres
The Territory Labor opposition now supports a pause on hyper-scale data centre projects until July next year while a review is conducted.
Initially only calling for a review of existing and future data centre plans, Territory Labor has shifted to endorse a moratorium on hyper-scale facilities. The party announced its position after an independent motion sought a halt on all AI-related data centre developments. The temporary ban is set to remain in place until a review is completed, targeting a July deadline for its lift.
Why it matters
A pause on massive data centres could reshape investment and AI infrastructure plans in the Territory.
