Status: Active Development / Permitted Master-Planned Campus Phase | Location: 45 Donnybrook Road, Mickleham, Victoria 3064, Australia
The AirTrunk Mickleham Data Center Campus is a proposed hyperscale digital infrastructure development located at 45 Donnybrook Road, Mickleham, Victoria 3064, Australia. The project occupies a reported 67-hectare site in Melbourne's northern growth corridor and is planned to accommodate seven data center buildings designed to support expanding demand for cloud computing, enterprise digital services, and artificial intelligence infrastructure. AirTrunk has been identified as the developer behind the proposal, which represents a significant potential investment in Victoria's digital infrastructure sector. The proposed campus would transform currently undeveloped land into a large-scale computing facility incorporating multi-storey data halls, supporting technical areas, security infrastructure, and essential utility systems. Its planned configuration is intended to accommodate hyperscale computing requirements, including cloud migration, AI processing, high-performance computing, and data-intensive enterprise workloads. The development's location near the Hume Freeway and Melbourne's expanding northern industrial precincts could provide logistical advantages, while its long-term operational value will depend on reliable electricity supply, high-capacity fiber connectivity, and resilient infrastructure. Planning documents reportedly describe seven data center parcels, with buildings reaching up to four storeys and a proposed gross floor area of approximately 935,730 square meters. The reported investment is around AUD 5 billion, although final project costs and development specifications may change as approvals progress. The proposed campus also raises important infrastructure considerations, particularly electricity demand, water use, cooling requirements, and the need for appropriate environmental planning. Efficient cooling systems, responsible water management, and renewable electricity procurement could help address these challenges. As of the reported planning information, the project remains proposed and is subject to the relevant planning and approval processes. Confirmed IT capacity, final power allocation, construction milestones, and commissioning dates require further verification as the development advances.
