FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Answers for developers, landowners and partners evaluating data centre land in Australia.

What is Terrastack?

Terrastack (Brisbane, Australia) provides data centre site intelligence. It scans public data across Australia to find and rank candidate data centre sites, then surveys a prospect's own site with drones and ground sensors. The measured site survey is the core offer.

How do you evaluate a data centre site in Australia?

Start with public constraints that can stop a project early: electricity network capacity and connection timing, flood and drainage, planning zones and overlays, environmental registers, bushfire and terrain, and access. Terrastack consolidates those public layers so sites can be prioritised before physical investigation. On shortlisted land, measured evidence from drones and ground sensors then tests what is actually there.

What does a Terrastack drone and ground sensor survey measure?

On a developer's own site, Terrastack uses autonomous drones and ground sensors to collect measured evidence that remote datasets cannot settle alone. Typical themes include terrain and surface condition, drainage and water behaviour, noise and ambient conditions where relevant, and fixed photo or video records of the site. The exact instrument set for a job is scoped to the site. Methodology detail that is commercially sensitive is not published.

Do landowners get anything for free?

Yes. Landowners can receive a free land audit showing what the land is suited to for data centre development potential, based on public datasets. Developers commission a measured site pack for a fixed fee.

Where does Terrastack operate?

Terrastack serves Australia, with its office in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane (The Precinct, Level 2, 315 Brunswick St, QLD 4006). Coverage includes Queensland and other Australian states as public datasets allow.

How much does a measured site pack cost?

Australian customers are quoted in AUD for a fixed fee. Contact Terrastack for a current quote for your site. Prices are not listed as a public catalogue because scope depends on the land.

Is Terrastack the same as other companies called Terrastack?

No. This Terrastack is the Australian data centre site intelligence company at terrastack.au, founded by Matt Smith in Brisbane. It is not affiliated with other organisations that use a similar name in other markets.
