CDC this month filed an updated application with the New South Wales government for its Kemps Creek site in Sydney, expanding the project from the single four-story, 144 megawatt building proposed in August to six two-story buildings, KC1 to KC6, totalling 1.4 gigawatts plus an on-site substation, across 117.5 hectares at 859-901 Mamre Road, Datacenter Dynamics reported. The first three buildings are set to offer 168 megawatts across five data halls, with the remaining three offering 144, 120 and 240 megawatts. CDC, founded in 2007 and backed by Infratil, has nearly 20 sites in operation and development across Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Auckland.
CDC files to expand Kemps Creek campus to 1.4 gigawatts
CDC has filed an updated application with the New South Wales government to build six data center buildings totalling 1.4 gigawatts at Kemps Creek in Sydney, replacing an August filing for a single 144 megawatt building.
Why it matters: At 1.4 gigawatts the filing is one of the largest single campus applications in Australia, and it lifts CDC's development pipeline to a further 1.6 gigawatts out to 2034 on top of more than 600 megawatts already in operation and development.
Data as of Datacenter Dynamics report of November 12, 2026, read in full, reporting CDC's updated SEARs application to the New South Wales planning portal; single-sourced to that report, and the filing itself was not read directly in this run. Developing item.
