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 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.
