AUSTRALIA DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Australia has about 145 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards.
- In terms of colocation services, the wholesale and hyperscale segment is expected to be a major contributor to revenue growth in the coming years, supported by the increasing demand from cloud and large enterprise customers.
- Over the next two to three years, Australia is expected to witness substantial investments in its data center sector, driven by the entry of several new operators in the market. The total investment in this industry is projected to exceed $9.02 billion by 2031. This surge reflects Australia’s rapidly expanding digital economy, supported by the growing adoption of cloud-based services and the government initiatives aimed at strengthening the city’s digital infrastructure.
- In November 2025, AI cloud company, Firmus, raised $327 million to support its “Project Southgate” expansion across Tasmania, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, and Perth. The company plans to scale its capacity to 1.6GW by 2028, with a focus on AI and immersion-cooled infrastructure.
- Mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures are among the two major investment activities followed by organizations to boost their presence and market share in the market. Several such activities were witnessed in the market. For instance, in March 2025, Partners Group acquired a majority stake in GreenSquareDC and announced expansion into Sydney.
- As of Q4 2025, the average industrial electricity price in Australia ranges between USD 0.2 and 0.4 per kWh, applicable to industries including data centers.
- In November 2025, Stack Infrastructure completed the construction of its MEL01B data center in Melbourne, adding 36MW to the existing MEL01 campus, which will ultimately deliver 180MW across four buildings. The company is also expanding its national power footprint through additional large-scale developments, including a planned 360MW campus in Sydney and multi-megawatt facilities in Canberra and Perth.
