where is the rest of the upvotes on this?

leaving a comment hoping this gains more attention.

Please!

Would love to use this at my startup but can't due to data regulation laws

Agreed any Australian region would be great!

I am pro-ANZAC region but need more upvotes until we send one of our members who are part of The Commonwealth in purchasing metal and setting up a datacenter there.

Potentially stupid question: is this blocking you all from bringing company workloads over?

+1 for Aus region.

Hi Angelo!

Yeah this is stopping us from migrating to railway. The financial laws require the data to be hosted in Australia

It'd be great to be able to migrate to Railway. However we are also subject to the Australian data sovereignty requirements of our customers which means we need to stay on AWS / Fly.

+1 this request. The latency to the other current APAC zone, Singapore, from Australia is quite poor.

Latency to other zones are even worse. Very keen to move our solution to railway from another provider but it's fairly performance sensitive so not practical in the current state.

+1 to this from us too. Australia has strict data compliance requirements for many industries. This would make Railway a lot more appealing to Australian companies.

yes, needed for latency

Being able to satisfy our clients with data residency requirements would be fantastic

+1 we're looking at moving from Heroku and this is likely a dealbreaker

+1 definitely AU region!

Yes due to APP (Australian privacy principles) certain data needs to remain/processed in AU region

+1 - doesn't sound like Railway is a good idea otherwise, reading this https://station.railway.com/questions/east-coast-australia-region-3d0bcae9

This would be awesome and would allow us to avoid using AWS in many of our projects. As mentioned above, there are many clients which require hosting in AU for data privacy reasons.

+1

+1 for this as well, stopping us from migrating all of our infrastructure to railway

This would be so helpful.

+1 for this, i'm sadly having to consider going back to AWS ECS for my next project so i can use Sydney as a region, the latency to singapore is a bit too high.

+1 for this. It would be awesome to have an Australian Region.

Why is the Singapore region not working for you?

Railway it you are listening...

Australia is all about rules and regulations. The only thing Australia loves more than drinking. Which we love a lot. This means everyone is always going on about and freaking out about data sovereignty. With more and more hacks everyday companies are demanding more

Plus this is a big place. Lots our latency to in the country, gets way worse when we go out.

Your platform is awesome and would do very well. The only reason I haven't gone full scale is because everyone is always asking for sovereignty and speed.

We're indeed listening :). I'm putting together proposals for Q1 2026

Appreciate all the feedback! Also marked a dupe thread so, there's defs some demand for this one

+1, i reckon you could even get away with charging the aussies a $5 premium for an australian based server. honestly i'd pay it. between latency and data sovereignty i'm sure many others here would

This made me chuckle.

But yes, we're planning to add more regions soon! Placing this up for Q1'26 discussions, and also merging in the other duplicate thread. Thank you all for the feedback

I'd also like to see Australian region support. We are targeting large corporates some of which are regulated and have strict data sovereignty rules. I would love to use railway but without Aus servers, we're going to have to look at other solutions.
