TRANSFORMATION
GONDWANA AUSTRALIA is building the world’s most advanced SDV proving ground: an international digital mobility knowledge precinct where concept, development, validation, and certification run on a single, continuously connected ecosystem.
who is GONDWANA
GONDWANA AUSTRALIA is the world’s first Mobility 5.0 proving ground: a fully integrated, AI-driven ecosystem where concept, development, validation, and certification run as one. Powered by G-MATRIX AI—our real-time, AI-native operating fabric—we synchronise vehicles, infrastructure, and labs to turn every run into audit-ready, certification-grade evidence.
Across two adjacent sites in Toowoomba, Queensland (1,100 hectares, 24/7/365), GONDWANA unites 24 specialised testbeds and 100 km of instrumented circuits, including the 25 km GONDWANA TT endurance circuit, a live 16.5 ha hilltop autonomous township, programmable environmental tunnels, and an aggressive 18 km three-lane highway complex. Photonic TSN fibre, sub-nanosecond PTP timing, 5G-Advanced (future 6G), and MEC deliver deterministic replay and ultra-low-latency V2X—capabilities legacy grounds can’t match.
What we do: compress time-to-market and cost for software-defined, autonomous, connected, and electrified vehicles. We harmonise Shift-Left and Shift-Right using digital twins, deterministic orchestration, and programmable adverse-condition testing to reduce fleets, miles, false fails, and retests—producing globally portable, standards-aligned evidence.
Security and sovereignty are built-in: zero-trust client pods, PQC/PKI, SIEM/SOC/SOAR/XDR, and blockchain provenance protect IP and streamline multi-region compliance. With an on-site Mobility 5.0 university (SAE/IEEE) and a dedicated SDV-TIC provider, teams arrive productive and stay audit-ready.
Now in final design, GONDWANA invites foundation clients to shape remaining specifications before Q4 2025; operations commence Q4 2027. First in, best dressed.

WHAT WE OFFER
01
GONDWANA REVOLUTIONISING THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
GONDWANA is at the forefront of a 5.0 revolution in the automotive industry, providing state-of-the-art product development and homologation testing. Our facility offers comprehensive services within an internationally recognized mobility knowledge precinct, featuring cutting-edge engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Supported by a responsive ‘A’ class supply chain, GONDWANA includes an automotive homologation test site that meets rigorous international testing standards and supports SAE Automation Levels 1 through 5.
The world’s most advanced SDV proving ground—transforming the virtual digital chassis into the physical SDV in a secure real world development, testing, and validation centre to enable next-generation ‘autonomous, connected, and electrified vehicles.
- 24 specialised testbeds connected by 100 km of instrumented circuits for end-to-end workflows—from concept to homologation—in one secure location.
- A Mobility 5.0 university (with SAE International and IEEE) and on-site SDV-TIC operations to maximise throughput, reduce witness days, and streamline compliance.
- A secure, adaptive, multi-tenant digital backbone for deterministic testing, repeatable outcomes, and certification-grade data.
A Proving Ground Designed for Mobility 5.0
- G-MATRIX AI: An embedded, interconnected AI fabric aligning track assets, labs, test-houses, and vehicles for deterministic orchestration and sub-microsecond closed loops.
- Photonic TSN fibre rings with sub-nanosecond PTP timing correlate SIL, HIL, and on-road results—reducing runs and increasing coverage per run.
- Embedded V2X fabric with 5G-Advanced, future 6G microcells, and MEC for ultra-reliable low-latency communications and secure, observable vehicle-to-cloud workflows.
World-Class Test Environments
- GONDWANA TT Circuit (Site Two): 25 km endurance loop, 145 precision corners, 200 m elevation swings, straights linked to a 3 km wet circuit with a 100 m gradient topology.
- Live Autonomous Summit Township: 16.5 ha active suburban testbed on a 16° average incline—complex gradients, occlusions, and mixed traffic with deterministic replay for SAE Levels 1–5.
- Aggressive Country Highway (Site One): 18 km three-lane highway threading 1.5 km and 1.2 km two-lane environmental tunnels, connected to a 5 km programmable wet circuit.
- Environmental tunnels: Deterministic climate control for programmable thermal, humidity, weather, glare, dust, and low-traction conditions—replacing weather-bound calendars.
End-to-End SDV Workflows
- Onboard controllers ingest microsecond-synchronised telemetry to adapt torque vectoring, stability, and energy management in real time—mastering gradient changes, camber shifts, and surface transitions under repeatable, certification-grade conditions.
- Unified evidence fabric connects simulation, bench/rig, SIL/HIL, lab, track, and on-road testing—producing standards-aligned, reusable evidence globally.
- Shift-Left: Harmonised, time-synchronised schemas (TSN) port component, software, and vehicle-in-the-loop results directly to track—no adapters or reconciliation.
- Shift-Right: Deterministic replay and programmable adverse conditions generate repeatable edge cases—compressing mileage, driver hours, and prototype counts.
- Digital twins: Scenario libraries and facility twin accelerate learning cycles, deliver higher coverage, and reduce redundant tests across variants and releases.
The G-MATRIX AI Advantage
- Deterministic AI fabric: Turns every run into certification-grade, audit-ready evidence for homologation.
- Real-time orchestration: Sub-5-microsecond edge-to-vehicle latency enables tight, repeatable closed loops and precise replay.
- Reduced OpEx: Fewer fleets, fewer miles, fewer false fails—accelerating validation and homologation beyond legacy facilities.
- API-first architecture: Vehicle-to-cloud, signal-to-service, container-ready, with third-party API integration for rapid partner onboarding and interoperability.
Security, Sovereignty, and Compliance by Design
- Sovereign multi-tenant client pods with zero-trust, role-based access, PQC and PKI, encryption, SIEM, SOC, SOAR, and XDR.
- Federated learning and in-fabric edge compute keep heavy data local—shrinking public cloud egress without compromising security or speed.
- Tamper-evident evidence chains and blockchain-backed provenance for audit-ready submissions across jurisdictions.
- Built-in observability and secure APIs enable complex multi-tenant programs without IP leakage.
Location, Infrastructure, and Operations
- Two adjacent sites spanning 1,100 hectares in Toowoomba, Queensland—operating 24/7/365 under independent management.
- Airport-adjacent: Immediate access to a 24/7 international heavy-freight and passenger airport—reducing logistics lag and expedite costs.
- Industry 4.0+ ecosystem: Local advanced manufacturing for rapid fixtures, harnesses, short-run assemblies, and tooling to shorten iteration cycles and protect IP.
- Accommodation & amenities: 70 executive suites and an adjacent 500-room engineers’ precinct with entertainment and restaurants; sports oval and full exercise campus.

THE COMPETITIVE EDGE
- Harmonised evidence streams eliminate duplication and bespoke ETL—producing standards-aligned outputs reusable worldwide.
- Shared access to tunnels, EVSE energy houses, V2X infrastructure, and smart labs defers CapEx while boosting utilisation.
- Programmable adverse-condition testing removes weather delays, eliminates idle labour, and maximises asset productivity.
- Early DFM/DFA on shared digital twins reduces late engineering changes, tooling churn, and scrap.
- Airport adjacency lowers premium freight, dwell time, and line-stop contingencies; local manufacturing avoids tariffs and long shipping cycles.
- Independent SDV-TIC operations and on-site university consolidate witness days and travel, increasing engineer throughput while reducing overhead per program.
Net effect: Faster proof, fewer mules, fewer retests—globally portable evidence, sooner.
