Summary
Build stages
Stage 1 — Planned
- Stage 1 comprises a 3-storey data hall building housing network equipment and data storage infrastructure, alongside a separate 3-storey office building and associated car parking. GreenSquare targets delivery by late 2027, subject to approvals and stakeholder engagement [1].
Between 19 January and late February 2026, AusNet "investigated the feasibility of a new proposed underground transmission connection from Brooklyn Terminal Station" along the road easements of Watson Street, The Avenue and a section of Simcock Avenue in Spotswood [2].
Stage 2 — Planned
- Stages 2 through 10 are described collectively in GreenSquare's community materials as being delivered progressively from west to east across the site, with an "end state" comprising 10 data halls and an additional office building interfacing Simcock Avenue. The source document does not break out individual scope, capacity, or dates per stage beyond Stage 1 — this entry represents the combined future-stages description, not a discretely sourced Stage 2 [3].
