Sustainable Data Centres Forum 2026

17 November 2026

Dockside, Sydney

Driving a pathway forward for positive, resilient and responsible data centres

Australia’s data centre sector is growing at a pace unlike almost anything else in our built environment. And the questions around energy, water, embodied carbon and social license are growing just as fast. 

What’s less certain is how the sector answers them. 

The Green Building Council of Australia, in partnership with Data Centres Australia, is bringing the industry together to do exactly that.  

The inaugural Sustainable Data Centres Forum is designed for the owners, developers, designers, operators and consultants responsible for sustainability outcomes across Australia’s data centre sector. 

In partnership with
