CDC Data Centres is an Australian-founded colocation operator that designs, builds, and runs its own data centre campuses across Australia and New Zealand, selling rack, cage, and private suite space to government, defence, enterprise, and hyperscale customers. As of 2026 it operates campuses in Canberra (its original home, launched in 2007), Sydney’s Eastern Creek, Melbourne’s Brooklyn precinct, and Auckland’s Silverdale and Hobsonville suburbs, with a new campus under construction in Laverton, Melbourne and a planned AI-focused campus in Maddington, Perth. CDC describes itself as one of the largest sovereign colocation providers in the region, with a particular focus on national-security-grade facilities for government and critical-infrastructure clients, including the ability to run sites in self-sufficient ‘island mode’ off the grid. It is roughly 48% owned by New Zealand infrastructure investor Infratil alongside Australia’s sovereign Future Fund. Its most distinctive recent move is the planned Maddington campus outside Perth, pitched as Western Australia’s largest AI and advanced-technology data centre campus, with liquid cooling and a zero-water closed-loop primary cooling system.

CDC Data Centres AI Data Centers
CDC's clearest AI-specific infrastructure commitment is its planned Maddington campus near Perth, announced in 2025 as Western Australia's largest AI and advanced-technology data centre campus. The first stage carries an AU$415 million investment and is designed to deliver up to 200MW of high-density capacity, with support for liquid cooling and CDC's proprietary closed-loop cooling system that uses zero water for primary cooling. The site is targeted to become operational in 2026, and CDC separately promotes itself as an NVIDIA Preferred Partner with nearly two decades of high-density liquid-cooling experience across its portfolio, though that broader claim is not tied to specific buildings beyond Maddington.
