AirTrunk advances plans for proposed Mickleham data centre
Data centre operator AirTrunk is seeking approval for a campus in Mickleham, Victoria, on Melbourne's northern fringe. It forecasts over 1,000 ongoing jobs and offers a $26.5 million package covering skills, sport and education facilities, including $15 million for training sites. Cooling is air-based, with no community water used in normal operations, and the site sits over 400 metres from the nearest home.
