CDC Data Centres is the largest owner and operator of data centre campuses across Australia and New Zealand, selling colocation, private suites, cabinets, and hyperscale capacity to government, defence, and enterprise customers rather than reselling third-party space. As of 2026, CDC operates roughly 20 data centre buildings spread across campuses in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland, with a major new campus under construction in Perth (Maddington) designed specifically for AI and high-density workloads. Founded in 2007 in Canberra, the company built its reputation on “sovereign,” government-grade security accreditations, and it is now expanding aggressively with multi-billion-dollar campuses like Marsden Park (Sydney) and Laverton (Melbourne), both targeting several hundred megawatts of capacity. CDC is backed by New Zealand infrastructure investor Infratil and Australia’s Future Fund, and has closed large refinancing rounds (including a reported US$1.8 billion refinancing) to fund its national expansion.

AI Data Centers
CDC's clearest AI-focused build is its new Maddington campus near Perth, announced in 2025 as Western Australia's first CDC site and its largest AI and advanced technology data centre in the region, targeting over 200MW of high-density capacity. The campus is being designed around advanced liquid cooling and CDC's proprietary closed-loop cooling system that uses zero water for primary cooling, specifically to support ultra-high-density AI and HPC workloads alongside government and AUKUS-related defence customers. Elsewhere, CDC's Sydney Eastern Creek campus is also described as supporting both air and liquid cooling for high-density workloads, though the Perth campus is the company's most explicitly AI-branded facility to date.
