I had a bit of a Google around yesterday.
I can't find any evidence of an Australian group
of amateur astronomers that are attempting
a consortium to put a large - say 32" robotic telescope
at Cerro Tololo in Chile.
It seems that only the Federal Govt is getting involved:

in very large Government telescopes.
If I was wealthy with plenty of money to spend I would certainly be interested
in setting up a Robotic telescope in Chile - but I'm not.
Some of the telescopes used to take pictures that are posted
on this forum would be great in Chile.
As examples of types with long focal length and professional quality:
Imagine yours or, Peter Wards Alluna or Mike and Trish's 20" PlaneWave!
You'd be getting every penny's worth of that focal length's resolution.
