For site partners

A disciplined screen before a development story.

DataParks assesses whether the combined land, infrastructure, planning and access conditions justify further work. A favourable attribute on its own is not enough.

Initial screen

What can make a site worth assessing.

The purpose of the first screen is to identify whether a proportionate next step is warranted—not to imply site control, available capacity, approval or a delivery outcome.

A site may warrant assessment where it has:

  • Credible proximity to high-capacity electricity infrastructure
  • Sufficient contiguous and usable land
  • A plausible planning pathway
  • Road and construction access
  • Potential fibre connectivity and route diversity
  • Manageable environmental and hazard constraints
  • Room for staged expansion and supporting infrastructure

What can be submitted initially:

  • Address or cadastral reference
  • Indicative land area
  • Ownership or control position
  • Available planning information
  • Known electricity or utility infrastructure
  • Existing reports or known constraints
  • Contact details and authority to discuss the site

A proportionate process

Screen first. Seek detail only when justified.

Initial information can be high level. DataParks identifies the next question before asking a site partner to commit time, access or detailed material.

01

Receive

Understand the location, control position and available context.

02

Screen

Consider power, land, fibre, planning, utilities, access and hazards together.

03

Define the next step

Reject, hold or agree a proportionate pathway for further assessment.

Questions site partners ask

What does an initial conversation mean?

Does a nearby transmission line establish capacity?

No. Physical proximity is a screening input, not evidence of available capacity, connection rights or timing.

Are complete studies required at submission?

No. A location, indicative area, control position and known constraints are enough to start a high-level screen.

Does submission create exclusivity or an obligation?

No. Any information rights, exclusivity, option, acquisition or development arrangement would require separate agreement.

What outcome follows the screen?

The site may be rejected, held for later review or advanced into a defined and proportionate diligence step.
