It may be too late for you, but IIS member "coldknights" (Cathy) is based in Victoria, and makes a range of WiFi and Bluetooth adapters for GoTo telescopes, for very attractive prices. See this thread:

I am using one of her Bluetooth controllers with a Meade LX90, driven from SkySafari 4 Plus on a Nexus 4 phone and a Nexus 7 tablet, and it works great - I can't speak too highly of it as a means for tracking down targets, or power-driving the telescope manually, and for logging observations on the fly!

I suggest it's well worth contacting Cathy if anyone is looking for an affordable way to control their powered GoTo telescope.
