Supporting critical digital infrastructure

Eukai provides ongoing transport planning and advisory services to NEXTDC, together with their lead contractor Kapitol Group, supporting the expansion of its Victorian data centre portfolio through planning, design development, and approval processes.

Working alongside NEXTDC and the broader consultant team, Eukai integrates transport, access, and operational requirements into complex data centre developments. The work extends beyond traditional traffic assessments, providing practical advice that supports efficient operations, planning approvals, and long-term site functionality across multiple stages of development.

Managing complex operational requirements

Data centres operate differently from traditional commercial and industrial developments, requiring secure access arrangements, specialist servicing, reliable freight movements, and carefully managed interactions between staff, visitors, and operational vehicles.

As these facilities expand over multiple stages, Eukai considers how transport networks and site layouts must respond to changing operational demands while maintaining safe and efficient site access while protecting surrounding road networks. Supporting these projects requires transport advice that balances planning policy, operational performance and future expansion.

Delivering practical transport outcomes

Eukai works closely with NEXTDC throughout project development, helping transport considerations inform decisions from early planning through to detailed design and into day-to-day operations. This includes assessing specialist vehicle access, reviewing internal circulation, testing future network conditions, and identifying practical improvements to site connectivity. The approach supports planning approvals while ensuring transport solutions remain aligned with operational needs.

Enabling future expansion

Eukai continues to support NEXTDC’s Victorian growth by providing transport advice that balances operational requirements with planning outcomes. Through technical assessment and practical design input, Eukai helps deliver transport solutions that support current data centre operations and future expansion.
