• Minimum campus 50 MW (2030s scenario, not an offer)FitsSeeded 5-year scenario is 50–250 MW (preliminary). Scale is conceivable on paper. This is not a grid offer.
• Rack density ≥ 200 kWConditionalGreenfield industrial lots can be designed for >200 kW/rack. Nothing is designed.
• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, immersion.
• Zero municipal waterConditionalRaw water pipeline from Ross Dam is in design — proposed, not operating. Not municipal potable by description.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsThe precinct is inland at Woodstock/Calcium, ~40 km south of Townsville and not on the harbour. Floating architecture would be a Port of Townsville proposition, not Lansdown itself. Port-adjacent floating is a separate object.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2UnknownNot verified to the precinct. Single-corridor risk to Brisbane is the default assumption until two routes are shown.
• Site area ≥ 20 haFits2,200 ha precinct. Individual compute-suitable lots are not allocated. Lot configuration changes with tender outcomes.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. A transmission line near Woodstock is not a 250 MW connection offer. CopperString in 2032 is not spare capacity sitting in Townsville in 2028.

• Minimum campus 50 MW (2030s scenario, not an offer)ConditionalSeeded 5-year scenario is 0–500 MW (preliminary). Scale is conceivable on paper. This is not a grid offer.
• Rack density ≥ 200 kWConditionalCan be designed for >200 kW/rack. Not designed.
• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, immersion.
• Zero municipal waterConditionalNot verified for GW-scale evaporative plant. Do not assume it.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsWeddell is inland of Darwin Harbour. Harbour floating would be a different site. Darwin Harbour cyclone and biosecurity regimes would dominate.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2ConditionalA second international path (Bosun / Inligo) is planned, not a substitute for diverse laterals to Weddell.
• Site area ≥ 20 haFits185 ha exclusivity at Weddell, ~30 km south of Darwin CBD, adjacent to a proposed Darwin Energy Hub. Exclusivity ≠ development consent.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. DJSC exists. 2 GW of gas plant does not.

• Minimum campus 50 MW (2030s scenario, not an offer)ConditionalSeeded 5-year scenario is 50–250 MW (preliminary). Scale is conceivable on paper. This is not a grid offer.
• Rack density ≥ 200 kWConditionalIndustrial SIA pads can be designed for high density. Heat is the constraint, not floor plate.
• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, seawater-heat-rejection.
• Zero municipal waterConditionalPilbara water is contested industrial water. Do not assume municipal or evaporative supply.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsPort Hedland harbour is nearby via corridors, not the SIA core. Harbour is a working bulk-export port. Floating compute would fight shipping, cyclone mooring and biosecurity.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2UnknownHorizon is described as a second route. Site diversity to a Boodarie lot is not surveyed.
• Site area ≥ 20 haFits4,000 ha Strategic Industry. POSCO and Fortescue have allocations for iron processing. Do not treat the SIA as vacant.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. A 210 MW station on the map is not 210 MW for sale to a training cluster.

• Minimum campus 50 MW (2030s scenario, not an offer)ConditionalSeeded 5-year scenario is 100–500 MW (preliminary). Scale is conceivable on paper. This is not a grid offer.
• Rack density ≥ 200 kWConditionalGreenfield pad on a power station site can be designed for >200 kW/rack. Not designed.
• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, immersion.
• Zero municipal waterUnknownLake Liddell remains a key water asset for Bayswater. Surplus for a campus is not verified.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsLake Liddell is a cooling-water asset for Bayswater. Floating compute on the lake is a hypothesis, not a proposal, and would compete with remaining generation water use until 2033.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2UnknownNot verified to the pad.
• Site area ≥ 20 haFitsAGL publishes a 10,000 ha combined Bayswater and Liddell landholding. That is not the developable pad for a campus.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. Transmission connections are being retained. That is not a published MW figure a developer can take to a bank.

• Minimum campus 50 MW (2030s scenario, not an offer)ConditionalSeeded 5-year scenario is 50–150 MW (preliminary). Scale is conceivable on paper. This is not a grid offer.
• Rack density ≥ 200 kWUnknownUnverified. Liquid cooling is architecturally possible on a remediated industrial pad; not designed.
• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, seawater-heat-rejection, air.
• Zero municipal waterConditionalMunicipal water should not be assumed for a high-density campus.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsPort Phillip is nearby. The Qenos land itself is a terrestrial industrial parcel. Floating architecture would be a separate marine consent, not implied by the landholding.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2UnknownMetro-typical; site diversity unverified.
• Site area ≥ 20 haUnknownHistoric petrochemical landholding on Kororoit Creek Road. Exact hectare figure for the Qenos parcel is not independently verified here.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. Industrial electrical infrastructure existed. Commercially connectable spare MW is not verified.

• Liquid coolingFitsOptions include direct-to-chip, closed-loop, seawater-heat-rejection, floating.
• Zero municipal waterConditionalDo not assume municipal water for cooling.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsBotany Bay / Port Botany is adjacent. Floating would be a port/marine consent under a separate regime, with airport OLS as an additional constraint.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2UnknownMetro-typical; site diversity unverified.
• Site area ≥ 20 haUnknownQenos parcel within Botany Industrial Park. Broader park has multiple owners (Orica, Indorama, Ixom). Do not treat the whole park as one title.

• Zero municipal waterUnknownRiver/port adjacent. Extraction licences are not evidenced.
• Floating / water-adjacent preferredFitsHunter River and port waters are the reason this site is in the Mousterian set. Marine consent, shipping channels and flood are first-order.
• Fibre routes ≥ 2ConditionalCorridor diversity ≠ site diversity.
• Site area ≥ 20 haUnknownThis object is a precinct, not a single lot. Mayfield, former steelworks and port lands should be disaggregated before any commercial work.
• N+1 powerUnknownRedundancy is a design choice, not an evidenced site attribute in v0.1. Infrastructure exists in the Hunter. A waterfront campus connection is not evidenced.
