Status: Under Development / Planned Master-Planned Campus | Location: 80 Kinloch Court, Craigieburn, VIC 3064 (Melbourne North Logistics & Industrial Precinct), Victoria, Australia
Goodman Melbourne North Data Center Campus is a major hyperscale digital infrastructure development designed to deliver approximately 200 MW of critical IT capacity on a 14.2-hectare site at 80 Kinloch Court in Craigieburn, strategically positioned within Melbourne's rapidly expanding northern industrial corridor. Developed by Goodman Group, the purpose-built campus comprises two large-scale data center buildings integrated with dedicated office, operational, and customer support facilities, providing a scalable platform for hyperscale cloud providers, artificial intelligence (AI) deployments, enterprise IT environments, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The campus is engineered to accommodate high-density rack configurations, advanced cooling technologies, resilient electrical infrastructure, and flexible expansion capabilities to meet the increasing demand for next-generation digital services. Located close to the Hume Highway and Melbourne Airport, the development benefits from excellent transport accessibility and proximity to key telecommunications infrastructure, enabling low-latency connectivity for domestic and international customers. Leveraging Goodman's extensive global land bank and secured power portfolio, the campus is designed to provide long-term, high-availability capacity for hyperscalers, cloud operators, financial institutions, content providers, and large enterprises seeking reliable colocation services. The facilities incorporate redundant power distribution, energy-efficient mechanical systems, advanced fire detection and suppression technologies, carrier-neutral fiber connectivity, and comprehensive physical security with 24/7 monitoring to ensure continuous operations for mission-critical applications. Sustainability is a core focus of the development, with energy-efficient building design, support for renewable energy integration, and environmentally responsible construction practices aimed at reducing operational carbon emissions. As Melbourne continues to strengthen its position as one of Australia's leading digital infrastructure markets, Goodman Melbourne North Data Center Campus is positioned to become a critical hub for cloud computing, AI innovation, and enterprise digital transformation, delivering secure, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure for the region's rapidly growing digital economy.
