Australia is in a global race for AI infrastructure — but are we moving fast enough to compete?
In this episode of Talking Property with CBRE, host Kathryn House is joined by Belinda Dennett, co‑founder and CEO of Data Centres Australia, and Matt Madden, CBRE’s Senior Managing Director of Data Centre Solutions for Asia Pacific, to unpack the rapid evolution of the data centre sector and what’s at stake for Australia.
As capital accelerates, demand intensifies and AI reshapes the digital economy, the conversation explores whether Australia can attract and retain AI workloads — or risks falling behind regional competitors.
The episode also delves into the rise of neocloud operators and why data centres are no longer just “warehouses” of the digital economy, but factories creating intelligence, jobs and long‑term economic value.
