What we checked

CSIRO's 25 February 2013 announcement placed Pawsey Centre construction in Kensington, south Perth, at the Australian Resources Research Centre site in Kensington's Technology Park. (source)
The same announcement described a planned groundwater-cooling system for the centre. It does not establish delivered water savings or the current cooling system. (source)

This is a dated historical host account, not a current whole-facility operating or environmental assessment. The 2013 construction description is not an opening date. A planned cooling method is not evidence of delivered water savings, current cooling performance or resolved local effects. Legal owner and facility operator, street address, coordinates, capacity, power, planning and current eligibility or allocation remain unverified. One record does not establish Australian coverage, available compute or a unique-facility census.
