The current version of the joint Aurecon/Archistar site selection tool includes data centre site options in Australia, but there are plans to extend it to include other regions such as Asia. The companies are developing the site selection tool for other development opportunities such as wind farms, laboratories, distribution hubs and even quarantine facilities.
