STACK Infrastructure Australia
The Stack APAC platform provides scaled exposure to the accelerating demand for hyperscale and enterprise digital infrastructure across Tier 1 cloud markets, anchored by a major Melbourne footprint in the Truganina hyperscale corridor. In Melbourne, the platform is currently organised as a multi‑campus rollout, with two campuses (MEL01 and MEL02) totalling 432 MW of capacity, providing customers with material headroom to expand within a single metro as requirements grow.
MEL01 established the foundation with an initial 36 MW facility on a scalable 72 MW campus, designed to support high‑availability deployments with dedicated power infrastructure and diverse fibre entry. MEL02 extends the pathway with 250 MW of critical capacity, reinforcing Melbourne’s positioning as a Tier 1 destination for cloud providers and large enterprises seeking reliability and scalability at speed.
This investment thesis is supported by strong market tailwinds, with Melbourne highlighted as a fast‑growing data centre market and demand for capacity expected to double by 2030. Beyond Australia, STACK has positioned APAC growth through additional regional openings (including Japan and Korea) as part of its broader APAC expansion program.
