The milestone was celebrated onsite with New South Wales Treasurer, Hon. Daniel Mookhey MP, who poured the final concrete on the 47MW facility in Sydney’s north zone.
The A$350 million development supports more than 2,400 construction, design and fit-out jobs and will be the only new AI capacity added in Sydney’s north zone in 2026.
The project arrives as national and state governments intensify their focus on advanced digital infrastructure, with today’s launch of the Federal Government’s National AI Plan and the recent establishment of the NSW Government’s Investment Delivery Authority aimed at fast-tracking major technology builds.
IC3 Super West forms part of Macquarie Data Centres’ 200MW development pipeline, designed to meet the surging demand for GPU-ready and high-density workloads from hyperscalers, enterprises and neocloud providers. All end-state power for the site has already been secured.
Speaking at the ceremony, NSW Treasurer Hon. Daniel Mookhey MP said: “Companies like Macquarie Data Centres keep investing, keep expanding, and keep believing that NSW can be a global home for high-tech infrastructure. And it happens because the government has chosen to take planning and investment delivery seriously.
“In the years ahead, thousands of businesses will run smarter because this building exists. Research will accelerate because this building exists. AI capability will expand because this building exists. And NSW will be more competitive, globally competitive, because this building exists.”
IC3 Super West is on track to open in September 2026 and has been engineered specifically for high-density AI environments, including liquid cooling and direct-to-chip configurations.
David Hirst, Macquarie Data Centres group executive said: “IC3 Super West is the next data centre in our pipeline of sites planned to add circa 200MW of AI and cloud capacity in Sydney.
“Demand for high-density AI infrastructure is the most significant megatrend we’ve seen in over 25 years in the data centre industry. IC3 Super West, opening in Q3 2026, is purpose-built for the high-density power and liquid cooling demands of new AI technology. Sovereign data centres keep Australia competitive in the global market and are the foundation of our AI future.”
The facility is the third to join the company’s 65MW Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus, with Phase 1 delivering a complete core and shell and 6MW of fitted-out IT load.
