Cabinet approved the strategy and a sovereign government cloud supported by two separate data centres on 28 October. Choppy expects cloud construction to run from mid-2027 to mid-2028; the facilities are not operational yet.

Proposed uses include permit processing, healthcare services and fraud detection. Choppy outlined human oversight of important decisions, encryption and bias audits. Funding arrangements remain under development.
