CDC files to develop 1.4GW data center campus in Kemps Creek, Australia

CDC this month filed an updated SEARS application with the New South Wales government for a new campus at Kemps Creek. The company originally filed an application in August to develop a single four-story building, totaling 144MW across 34,000 sqm (365,970 sq ft), on 88.4 hectares at 871-901 Mamre Road. CDC has now filed an updated application , increasing the scope of the project. The company is now looking to develop six two-story buildings (KC1 to KC6) totaling 1.4GW, as well as an on-site substation, across 117.5 hectares at 859-901 Mamre Road. The original application was set to be the first stage of a wider campus to be expanded over additional filings, with the new application representing the entire campus under a single filing. The first three buildings are set to offer 168MW across five data halls; building four will offer 144MW across four halls; building five 120MW across three data halls; and building six 240MW across seven halls. Founded in 2007 and backed by investment firm Infratil, CDC has nearly 20 sites in operation and development across Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Auckland, New Zealand. It has more than 600MW of data center capacity in operation and development across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, and New Zealand (70MW). The company’s future development pipeline now totals a further 1.6GW out to 2034. Sydney is currently home to two CDC campuses, Eastern Creek and Marsden Park. Eastern Creek has four buildings live – EC1 offers 7MW, EC2 20MW, EC3 42MW, and EC4 54MW. Work started on the site in 2018, and two more are under construction (EC5 and EC6) that could total more than 100MW. Still in development , Marsden Park could offer more than 504MW of capacity with potential to scale to around 1GW. The company broke ground on the site in late 2024.
