Canberra colocation: compare data centres and quotes
Colocation pricing and providers in Canberra →
Shortlist Canberra colocation by the deployment you need
The Coloprice Canberra catalogue contains 14 records from 8 operators, including individual facilities and multi-building campuses. 13 records are marked operational and 1 under construction. This is a research shortlist, not a complete market census or a list of available racks.
Start with the actual building and service in the proposal. NEXTDC publishes 4.4 MW for C1 in Bruce; that is a facility specification, not unallocated power. CDC separates its operating Hume One, Hume Two and Fyshwick campuses from the Beard development. Macquarie lists IC4 in Canberra but leaves its IT load undisclosed. Keep these different disclosure scopes separate when comparing providers.
For government or regulated workloads, ask for evidence covering the proposed facility, service and operating arrangement. A provider brand, security claim or network connection is not by itself proof that your specific deployment meets an agency requirement. Confirm the applicable assessment, certification scope, access controls and contractual responsibilities with the provider and your own procurement team.
Send every shortlisted provider the same rack count or committed kW, density per rack, A/B power requirement, carrier and cloud connections, target go-live date, contract term and expansion plan. Request an itemised offer in a stated currency, with GST treatment, capacity charges, electricity, cross-connects, remote hands, installation, fit-out and annual increases shown separately.
- Identify the building, hall and phase; do not compare a campus total with a single facility as though they were equivalent.
- Ask for currently reservable power and space, the delivery date and conditions attached to that reservation.
- Confirm usable rack density, cooling and power-feed resilience for the offered configuration.
- Verify carrier availability, cloud connectivity, cross-connect charges and any required ICON access for the specific site.
- Compare total costs over the same term; published MW and rack counts are not price quotes or vacancy guarantees.

Frequently asked questions
Which Canberra colocation providers can I compare?
The current Coloprice Canberra shortlist includes 14 records from 8 operators. Records include both individual data centres and multi-building campuses. Compare the exact offered building and service, and verify current availability directly with each provider.
Does published Canberra data centre capacity mean space is available?
No. NEXTDC publishes 4.4 MW for C1, while other records may describe an entire campus or a development. Published capacity does not establish unallocated space, reservable power or a delivery date. Obtain those details for the specific hall in writing.
How much does Canberra colocation cost?
There is no verified uniform Canberra tariff on this page. Request quotes for the same racks or committed kW, density, power arrangement, connectivity, start date and term. Compare currency and GST treatment, electricity, cross-connects, remote hands, installation, fit-out and escalation separately.
What should I check for a government or regulated deployment?
Verify that the proposed facility, service and operating arrangement satisfy your actual procurement requirements. Ask for current assessment or certification evidence, its scope, physical access controls, connectivity and contractual responsibilities; do not infer approval from the operator brand alone.
How much does colocation cost in Canberra, Australia?
No published wholesale $/kW benchmark exists for Canberra, Australia yet, so we show nothing rather than an estimate. What is verifiable: the catalog tracks 14 facilities here. Run at least three quotes in parallel — where no benchmark is published, individual offers vary far more.
Why is colocation priced the way it is in Canberra, Australia?
Commercial electricity in Canberra, Australia is $0.252 per kWh, and power is the largest single input into a colocation rate. On top of that sit land and grid-connection availability, interconnection density, and how much capacity competes for the same tenants — 14 facilities in our catalog, 1 of them announced or under construction.
Where is colocation cheaper near Canberra, Australia?
On power alone, Japan ($0.185/kWh), Indonesia ($0.063/kWh) run below Canberra, Australia. Whether that becomes a cheaper contract depends on how much interconnection the workload needs — the comparison table shows what latency the move would cost.
