The Australian data centre industry is experiencing significant growth. This growth has been driven by rapidly increasing demand for cloud-based computing and storage, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security and data sovereignty.
The strong market demand has attracted significant investments from large global providers as well as local operators, who have established large-scale facilities of up to 130MW+, with plans to further develop precincts up to 1GW.
Whilst local demand for capacity is growing, this poses serious challenges, including:
Procurement of suitable land at an acceptable cost.
Availability and capacity of critical utilities, like power and water.
Planning and development approval from local or state authorities.
Environmental noise impact.
Energy efficiency and sustainability.
Capacity of design delivery and construction partners.
Programming and procurement of long lead equipment.
Availability of raw materials and rapidly rising construction costs.
These challenges require holistic thinking across the full life cycle of data centre delivery. Our focus is to understand our client’s specific challenges, so we can utilise our expertise and critical thinking to provide the best possible outcomes.
