We are Queensland’s Voice for Sustainable Digital Infrastructure

Queensland Data Centres Council - Advocacy for Members to shape Queensland’s Digital Future

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.

Trusted Queensland advocacy for a rapidly evolving digital economy.

QDCC exists to ensure Queensland remains globally competitive in digital infrastructure while delivering measurable outcomes for communities, investors and government stakeholders.
