Overall land size as the owner and the government publish it: 17 million m² in the Foundation's 2025 brochure, more than 17 million m² on the Royal Commission's project page and in its October 2026 statement. We lead with this because it comes from the owner and the oversight body, is the most recent, and sits inside the 16.6 to 17.2 range that other sources give; it is a rounded figure, so we show the others beside it. · as of Oct 2026
