Project summary

Brookhollow Avenue Data Centre Expansion, Norwest, is identified in the NSW Planning Portal record as a data-centre expansion in the Data Storage department type. The record lists Norwest and The Hills Shire LGA, and its status field showed “Assessment” when the record was observed on 6 November 2026 (NSW Planning Portal project record: title, location and status fields). The NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure exhibition notice identifies Application SSD-81928961 at 3 Brookhollow Avenue, Norwest (Lot 2021 DP 831173), in the Hills Shire council area. It names Project Garden 1 Pty Ltd as trustee for the Norwest Property Trust as applicant (exhibition notice, p. 1; source observed 7 November 2026).

The notice describes a proposal for construction and 24/7 operation of a data centre with total power consumption of 118.3 MW. Its proposed design comprises a four-storey building, approximately 43 metres maximum height, and associated plant and equipment including 77 diesel generators and bulk diesel storage, internal roads, landscaping and car parking. The 118.3 MW figure is stated as total power consumption, not as installed computing capacity (exhibition notice, p. 1).

The notice reports an exhibition period of 14 July to 10 August 2026, a historical process milestone. It identifies the application as State significant development; at the time of the notice, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces had not directed a public hearing, and the listed consent authority was the Minister or the Independent Planning Commission (exhibition notice, p. 1).

Reading-scope note: This account draws on page 1 of the department’s two-page exhibition notice. Page 2 and graphical content were not reviewed.

Evidence limits and unknowns

The reviewed notice page does not establish whether consent was subsequently granted, whether construction began, or the project’s current stage; the portal status cited above is only the status shown when that record was observed on 6 November 2026 (exhibition notice, p. 1; NSW Planning Portal project record, status field).

The reviewed notice page does not establish installed computing capacity or procurement status or availability. A supplier buying window remains unknown (exhibition notice, p. 1).
