Goodman Group gets green light for 135MW data center in northern Sydney, Australia

Australia’s Goodman Group has been granted planning permission for a data center in northern Sydney, New South Wales (NSW).. The 135MW data center, dubbed Project Apollo, will cost some AU$1.4 billion ($1bn), and has been given the green light by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure following a meeting last week..

Goodman first filed for permission to develop the site at 4-10 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, in 2024.. The site of Goodman’s planned data center in northern Sydney – Google Maps. The project will see two existing buildings on the plot demolished to make way for a development with eight data halls.

The data center will feature evaporative cooling towers and be powered by grid energy, with backup diesel generators and lithium-ion battery systems being installed on site.. It is expected that the data center will create up to 60 permanent jobs once up and running.. Traditionally focused on logistics and industrial real estate, Goodman has data center projects in operation or development across Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, the US, France, and Japan..

The company recently topped out a data center in Los Angeles, California. The 32MW facility is set to be handed over next year. It has also announced plans for a 97MW data center in San Jose..

Goodman is developing multiple data centers across Sydney. The company is planning a 126MW facility in Guildford West on a former Castrol site and is seeking to redevelop the former ABC television studios in the city’s North Shore area into an 80MW data center.. It is also redeveloping a former Eaton warehouse site in Mascot into a 90MW facility, and a warehouse site in Cove West into a 90MW campus..

Elsewhere in Australia, it intends to construct an AU$1.1 billion ($756m) data center in Melbourne.. DCD interviewed Goodman Group founder and CEO Greg Goodman in issue 51 of DCD>Magazine. Register here to read the magazine free of charge..
