DCI Data Centers: Canberra 01 Data Center

Located in the Poplars Innovation Precinct, Jerrabomberra (Greater Canberra region), the facility is positioned in a low-seismic-risk zone with direct access to major fibre routes and the national capital’s business community. 

Operated by DCI Data Centers, a Brookfield-owned platform focused on hyperscale-ready, sustainable infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region. 

The site benefits from a dedicated new 132 kV powerline and a separate grid feed specifically for the precinct, delivering resilient power provisioning to support critical workloads. 

Designed for build-to-scale deployments, the Canberra 01 facility begins with an initial 20 MW target with room for expansion, ideal for high-density computing, enterprise and cloud environments.

With its clean-sheet design and sustainable engineering features, this site is ideal for hyperscale, enterprise and cloud deployments.

⚙️ Facility Highlights —

• Initial capacity: 20 MW across eight data halls on a 4-hectare site, designed to scale further as needed.
• Environmentally efficient design: uses advanced cooling technologies and water-utilisation strategies to reduce energy and environmental emissions. 
• Redundancy built to Tier III (Zone 3+) specification with separate grid feed, ensuring high availability and resilience for critical workloads. 
• Modular, adaptive infrastructure allows rapid deployment of high-density racks and supports cloud, AI/ML, IoT and high-performance computing workloads.
• Sustainability-minded power and water use, with site design emphasising efficient cooling and resource conservation that align with DCI’s sustainable infrastructure mandate.

🔐 Security & Compliance —

The Canberra 01 facility is designed to meet rigorous physical and operational security standards, including multi-layer perimeter protection, biometric and role-based access, full CCTV coverage, 24×7 staffing, VESDA early-smoke detection and fire-zone compartmentation. The operator’s Australian sites follow industry best practices and certifications in data-centre operations. The resilient power feed, dedicated grid line and sustainable design reflect a commitment to high-availability SLAs and mission-critical deployment readiness.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —

As a carrier-neutral facility, Canberra 01 provides access to local, regional and international network providers. It offers dark and lit fibre options, direct cross-connects, and cloud on-ramp connectivity to major public clouds and content networks. Its proximity to the Canberra capital region offers latency advantages, multiple network entry points and diverse routing options — making it an ideal hub for enterprise, content, government and cloud providers.
