HyperDC Pty Ltd has filed a planning permit application with the Victorian government for a 400MW IT capacity data center campus in Moorabool, located at 715 Ballan Road roughly 75 kilometers west of Melbourne. The proposed MBL1 site spans 39 hectares of largely vacant land near Geelong. Gerard Adamsons, listed as a company director on LinkedIn and previously with residential developer Villawood Properties, is connected to the project. The site sits close to the 300MW Victorian Big Battery facility and AusNet Services' Moorabool Terminal Station.
A 400MW campus would represent a significant addition to Australian data center capacity, placing major new power demand near existing grid infrastructure including a large battery storage site. The proximity to AusNet Services' Moorabool Terminal Station may ease grid connection, but the scale of the project will draw scrutiny from utility planners and regulators in Victoria.
A 400MW campus filing is a major infrastructure announcement in the APAC market, a region with growing data center demand. This is a distinct, large-scale project not covered in recent published stories.
