[Roundtable] Wiring the Indo-Pacific: How WA Delivers Green Compute at Scale

Western Australia is rapidly emerging as a trusted green compute and data centre hub for the Indo-Pacific—backed by abundant renewables potential, space and industrial capability, political stability, and growing connectivity into Indo-Pacific. At the same time, Southeast Asia’s demand for clean, secure compute and modern data infrastructure is accelerating.

The question is no longer “why WA?”—it’s how we execute: moving from declarations to delivery, and turning green compute into a diversified, job-creating digital economy. This roundtable brings government, renewable energy and green tech experts, operators, investors, community leaders and buyers around one practical delivery plan: what gets built first, where, who pays, what approvals need to change, and what buyers must commit to—and the bottlenecks we remove to get there.

Outcome: a shared 12–24 month action map covering priority sites, power and grid readiness, permitting steps, anchor customers, workforce needs, and key risks (grid bottlenecks, community licence, water, security, and supply-chain constraints).
