The Queensland Data Centres Council (QDCC) is a dedicated advocacy organisation for the responsible growth of data centres, AI infrastructure and digital technology investment.
Our job is to unite industry, government and communities to unlock sustainable projects and approvals, stronger investment outcomes, and meaningful local community benefits in Queensland.
QDCC exists to ensure Queensland remains globally competitive in digital infrastructure while delivering measurable outcomes for communities, investors and government stakeholders.
Unlike national advocacy groups, QDCC is purpose-built for Queensland’s regulatory, environmental and social landscape.
Working with local, state and federal stakeholders to shape practical planning, approvals and investment frameworks for Queensland’s digital infrastructure future.
Helping projects secure trust through transparent, meaningful engagement with communities, local stakeholders and First Nations groups throughout Queensland.
Driving measurable sustainability standards around energy, water, biodiversity, resilience and long-term community value.
Membership provides direct access to advocacy, strategic engagement opportunities and sector leadership initiatives.
