CDC Data Centres announced today [October 25th 2024, AEDT] that they have marked the commencement of work at their largest ever data centre campus to be located in the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct in Sydney. The sod turning ceremony was attended by Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP and Blacktown City Council Mayor Brad Bunting.
Once completed, this 504MW ICT capacity campus will become the largest data centre campus in the Southern Hemisphere, featuring six four-story data centre buildings, each housing up to 24 data halls, along with supporting office space.
This project is designed to accommodate diverse computing needs, from cloud to AI workloads, addressing the surging demand for digital infrastructure.
CDC will invest billions of dollars in the Marsden Park campus, which spans 20.1 hectares (about 27 soccer fields), and is expected to create over 10,000 jobs during construction and operational phases, providing a substantial boost to the local economy. It will also feature a dedicated 720MVA substation, ensuring continuous service and support for critical infrastructure sectors.
Greg Boorer, CEO at CDC writes on LinkedIn:
“Incredible day today as we celebrated breaking ground at our largest ever data centre campus. The 500+MW campus at Marsden Park, western Sydney, is something that I wouldn’t have imagined in my wildest dreams when I founded CDC just 17 years ago. The business has come so far in that short period of time and I would like to thank the amazing, indefatigable team at CDC that delivers, over and over again. Well done team very proud of you all today. You are the best in the business”.
