Following an announcement in June 2024, AirTrunk has now started on the expansion of its 21.7 acre MEL1 campus established in 2017 at Derrimut in the west of Melbourne.
The expansion will include the remaining three phases of the six phases of construction at the MEL1 campus. This will expand the footprint to 34 data halls and bring the total technical data hall area to 32,000 square meters which will deliver over 100MW of new IT load. The current project will represent over AU$1 billion (US$665m) of investment over its 18 month delivery period.
When originally announcing the expansion, Robin Khuda, AirTrunk founder and CEO indicated that the project is being undertaken in order to “support the growth of our customers.”
