Historical information

During the mid 2020’s, Victoria experienced one of the fastest data centre growth surges in the Asia Pacific region, driven by AI, cloud, hyperscale demand, and government backed planning reforms. This increase was measured by capacity, number of facilities, investment volume, and rack density figures.

In 2025, Melbourne’s live data centre capacity grew by 37%, the fastest growth of any major Australian market.

The data centres located in the City of Brimbank City, but only a small number, are in Deer Park, Derrimut and Brooklyn. They were built on repurposed industry or farmland including the former Deer Park ICI Explosive Storage site and the State Electricity of Victoria Brooklyn Store site.

These data centres provided significant long term financial investment in Brimbank, electricity and water infrastructure upgrades and employment during construction and on-going employment for their operations.

They however did bring controversy, the massive size of the buildings, the noise and heat generated, and the electricity and water requirements.

Significance

The construction of these data centres attracted significant media coverage and sustained public interest. These documents are examples of the media coverage, documents released by the data centres and their contractors.
