Whenuapai Mātai Data Centre Naming
Marcus made this Official Information request to Government Communications Security Bureau
Currently waiting for a response from Government Communications Security Bureau, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: Marcus
Dear Government Communications Security Bureau,
I was having a browse through the proactively released "Briefing to the Incoming Minister 2023" (https://www.gcsb.govt.nz/assets/GCSB-Pro...) and noted the S6(a) redactions regarding the then-under construction Whenuapai data centre.
Given that the data centre is now active with the name Mātai (as mentioned in the GCSB's news release from June 27, 2025), was Mātai the redacted name or was there a working name/codename for the data centre that can now be released?
Yours faithfully,
Marcus
