Macquarie Data Centres: IC3 Super West - 50MW Campus

Macquarie Telecom Group Limited (ASX: MAQ) (“the Company”) provides the following update to the market:

IC3 Super West

Macquarie Data Centres has today lodged a State Significant Development Application to build a new data centre at the Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus, within the Sydney North Zone. The new data centre will be called “IC3 Super West” and will be the largest data centre on the campus, adding 32MW of IT Load to bring the total campus IT Load to 50MW over time. IC3 Super West is designed to seamlessly interconnect with IC3 East.

Macquarie Data Centres is aiming to complete construction of Phase 1 of IC3 Super West in the second half of calendar year 2023. IC3 Super West has been designed to meet the needs of the corporate, government and wholesale markets and will enhance the state’s cybersecurity infrastructure and capabilities.

David Tudehope, the Chief Executive of Macquarie Telecom Group said: “IC3 Super West will expand our Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus to 50 MW of IT Load. This global scale data centre campus will attract new investment into Australia from multinationals looking to expand in the Asia Pacific region. The Macquarie Park Data Centre Campus will also be the home to our new Sovereign Cyber Security Centre of Excellence which is being launched today with the support of Investment NSW.”

Macquarie Data Centres is currently obtaining the necessary planning consents, which are expected to be received in early 2022. Construction and funding of IC3 Super West will then follow and remains subject to final Board approvals.

It will be monitored 24/7 by trained engineers equipped with the latest tools.

David Tudehope, the Chief Executive of Macquarie Telecom Group said:

“NSW’s digital economy is rapidly growing, and this project will create world class infrastructure and valuable long-term jobs in the digital and cyber security sector.”
