In the heart of Northern Australia,
the Territory is home to Australia's closest capital city to Asia - Darwin.
The Territory's strategic location is more than geography.
It is a connection to the rest of the world cemented in history
and intrinsic to the future prosperity
and security of Australia.
This is the home of thousands of years of living culture, of multicultural connections
and ingenunity and resilience.
Darwin is now poised to become the location for Australia's
next large Data Centre ecosystem
with the key inputs of land,
power and cable connections coming together with the
convenience of well-developed strategic industrial zoning and capital city infrastructure.
The Territory is at the centre of large and growing energy,
agriculture, mining and tourism sectors,
servicing some of the world's most significant oil and gas fields.
And some of the biggest mining and mineral operations in Australia.
With farms the size of small countries, and expanding
export infrastructure, Darwin is the key northern doorway in and out of Australia.
It is also the northern command centre for Australian
defence and coastal border forces
and hosts a significant presence of US Defence
technical and aerial assets.
The rapidly growing space sector
is seeing organisations such as NASA and other global players
establishing a presence in the Territory.
New high speed international and domestic cabling is being rolled out
with the government's Terabit Territory investment
catalysing a large upgrade to terrestrial cabling
connecting Darwin to the other main southern Australian metros.
Further new cables that will connect Darwin directly to Singapore
and the west coast of the USA are also well advanced.
This development will build on Darwin's position
as the only Australian capital city
with full Fibre to the premises connection to the National Broadband Network
and will see Darwin become one of the most connected cities in Australia.
Access to land and competitively priced power
from local world scale solar and LNG developments
sees Darwin emerge an exciting location for the growth of a Data Centre ecosystem.
The Territory Government has identified the Wishart Estate
located near the Darwin CBD
as an attractive site option for Data Centre construction.
And, there are further locations for potential developers to consider.
The Territory and its capital Darwin are at the forefront of the future digital economy.
This development represents a unique opportunity for technology companies
to locate operations in a secure, competitive and stable environment.
The local workforce and business community are skilled and capable
with experience in delivering major construction projects.
Here, thinking big is nothing new
it's what we do

The Territory - Boundless Possible
