Developer
Can I get a pad, a connection, and cooling without waiting a decade?
- Energy-rich region. Connectable surplus not shown.
- Time to power — likely not dated. There is no evidenced programme to hang a likely date on.
- Heat and water as for the Pilbara generally. Liquid/closed-loop default.
Financier
What MW is actually deliverable, and what would break the case?
- Announced none MW · 5-year scenario 50–200 MW (preliminary).
- Almost every verified MW, fibre and water figure.
- No verified financing for a compute campus on this site.
Mayor / state
What is real on this land, and what would fail in public?
- No compute project.
- Gas and LNG industrial system.
- This object is deliberately thinner than Lansdown, Liddell and Weddell. Depth is the risk.
Deliverable MW
Announced is not deliverable
Ranges are scenarios with an infrastructure class and a confidence band. They are not a grid offer.

Preliminary
- Karratha/Maitland is in the set because of gas, LNG, industrial land and port — the same industrial-energy hypothesis as Boodarie, with less evidenced digital infrastructure than Port Hedland's PH1 + Horizon story.
- Depth is preliminary on purpose.
Why here
- Gas and LNG industrial system.
- Strategic industrial land.
- Pilbara energy frontier.
What is missing
- Almost every verified MW, fibre and water figure.
- A proponent.

Workload fit
- Industrial / mining AIConditionalLNG and industrial users are the plausible demand.
- AI training / HPCUnknownEnergy exists in the region. Surplus for training is not shown.
- Edge / regionalConditionalPossible at small MW. Not evidenced.
- Cloud / hyperscaleFailsNot an AZ geography on current evidence.
- AI inferenceFailsWrong population geography.
- Sovereign / defenceUnknownNot evidenced.
Required for scale
- 100 MWUnverified
Dedicated generation and water.
Fibre
Weaker evidenced digital story than Port Hedland PH1.
- Perth: 22 ms
- Singapore: — ms
Thermal / hazards
Hot Pilbara.
Same rule as Hedland: price the penalty; do not veto the geography a priori.
Cyclone: Design-level.
