The ACT planning authority's published 2026 decision rejects the environmental-significance application ESO202600027 for Hume Campus 3's proposed four-data center development. This is a site-specific rejection of the requested no-significant-impact assessment pathway, not cancellation of CDC's Canberra programme or a reduction in confirmed operating capacity. CDC operates a sovereign-oriented Canberra platform across multiple campuses. CDC Canberra Data Centre Program is located in Canberra, ACT, AU and is a program in partially operational status.
