Residents and community groups in Western Australia’s City of Swan react positively after plans for a proposed $600 million data centre near the Helena River are withdrawn. Multiple outlets report that local groups describe the decision as a significant win, citing relief that the project will not proceed in its planned form. The proposal had drawn opposition or concern from parts of the local community, particularly because of its proximity to the Helena River and the surrounding area. Coverage across Brisbane Times, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald converges on the same core update: the developer’s plans are no longer moving forward, and the surrounding community is celebrating that outcome. While the reporting focuses on the residents’ response, it also frames the withdrawal as a key turning point for local planning and land-use decisions in the Swan Valley region. The articles do not indicate that a revised proposal has been formally approved, only that the original $600m data centre plans have been withdrawn.
