Two Australian data center projects cancelled as Quantum DC pauses approvals
Image: DCD AirTrunk and Stockland have cancelled proposed data centers in Sydney, while Quantum DC has paused planning approvals for its Tungkillo project in South Australia, DCD reports. The projects faced community opposition, although AirTrunk attributed its decision to an unsuitable site.
AirTrunk dropped a 140MW proposal in Lane Cove West. Stockland removed the data center from a wider $3.5 billion logistics and commercial development at Cooks River; the remaining development will proceed.
Quantum DC paused its proposed 1.2GW facility to engage with residents and the state government. AirTrunk's existing SYD2 campus and an already approved adjoining development are unaffected.
