CDC Plans 200MW Data Center Campus outside Perth

Australian data center operator CDC is planning a new campus outside Perth, Western Australia. The company aims to invest AU$415 million ($270.2m) in the first stage of the development in Maddington, 20 kilometres south-east of central Perth. The site will be operational in 2026.

“In collaboration with our customers and partners, CDC is preparing to develop WA’s largest AI and advanced technology data centre campus, delivering up to 200MW of high-density capacity upon completion,” the company said this week.

CDC CEO and founder, Greg Boorer, said: “Western Australia is an increasingly important region for national and regional security, and the future of AUKUS. We are looking forward to ensuring such customers have the capabilities in place where and when they need them to deliver on their critical missions and goals.”

Boorer continued: “Our vision for this project is to deliver more than just a data center. We are envisioning a comprehensive technology campus, including state-of-the-art facilities, with the highest power densities for AI workloads at scale, secure office space, and a range of amenities designed to meet the diverse needs of our customers.”
