Market Overview 

Australia is emerging as a leading market for data center development in the APAC region, driven by increasing digitalization, strong internet and social media penetration, and government initiatives. The country’s internet penetration rate reached nearly 95% in early 2024, with a significant portion of the population actively using social media. Government incentives are boosting broadband and 5G coverage, particularly in underserved areas. The data center construction costs in Sydney and Melbourne are rising due to supply chain issues and inflation. Australia’s data protection laws, including the Privacy Act 1988, ensure secure handling of personal information. Major data center operators like AirTrunk, NEXTDC, and Digital Realty, along with new players like GreenSquareDC and Vantage, are investing in the market. The presence of global cloud providers such as AWS and Google Cloud further strengthens the market. Additionally, strategic submarine cables like Asia Connect Cable-1 are enhancing international connectivity, supporting Australia’s ICT growth. 

Major Strategic Moves in Australia Data Center Sector 

Australia's data center sector has witnessed several significant mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures. In 2025, Partners Group acquired GreenSquareDC, marking its entry into the Sydney market. Telstra and Accenture formed a joint venture to accelerate AI development in early 2025. In 2024, Global Switch announced the sale of its Australian assets to HMC Capital, while Blackstone acquired AirTrunk for a substantial amount. Fujitsu sold its data center assets in Perth to Centuria Industrial REIT, and Macquarie Data Centres acquired key Sydney facilities from Keppel Data Centres. These strategic moves highlight the growing interest and investment in the Australian data center market. 

Government Driving Colocation Demand in Australia 

Government agencies in Australia are increasingly turning to colocation data centers to manage non-critical workloads, offering benefits such as flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. This trend is driven by the need for reliable data storage while focusing on core operations without maintaining extensive on-site infrastructure. Notable examples include Services Australia extending its colocation contract with Canberra Data Centres (CDC) for five years, valued at over $141 million. The Australian Electoral Commission also signed a ten-year contract with CDC worth over $5.4 million. Additionally, Western Sydney International Airport chose CDC for its digital tower, and the Reserve Bank of Australia moved its head office data center to a CDC colocation facility with a $24 million contract. This growing demand indicates that the public sector's reliance on colocation services will continue to rise.
