These comments from NextDC CEO Craig Scroggie demonstrate two key tactics used in data centre PR:

- TACTICAL VAGUENESS: 'Our data centre will run your life-saving surgery. No, we won't tell you what % of our huge energy consumption relates to AI surgery computation, that's secret business info'

Right next to where I grew up in Sydney - a 90 MW NextDC data centre, instead of high-density housing, next to the entrance of a railway station

These planning conflicts will just get worse and worse as the industry becomes more desperate and impatient

After a discussion about whether the site would be beneficial to residents and the community, Dennett said: “I don’t think it’s my personal view that is particularly relevant here … I’m also not a Sydney resident, so I’m not particularly familiar with the specific site you’re talking about. What I think we need to have is more engagement at a planning level to decide what we think works and what doesn’t work.” In its application to the planning department, NextDC said its data centre would play “a pivotal role in enhancing the local economy by creating significant job opportunities within the community”. The centre would “contribute up to” 942 jobs during construction and 490 “specialist and operational” jobs after completion. It also highlighted the fact the location was “highly accessible” to both public transport and road users. From our partners But the City of Ryde, in a scathing submission, wrote that building a data centre immediately next to a metro station undermined the government’s policy of building dense housing around transport hubs.

Great exchange for ruining your water. Apparently a lot of the excess solar energy we sell back to grid is likely going to the NextDC here in the CBD.

New South Wales and Victoria in a desperate fight to see which state can boost their coal power plants through uncontrolled data centre bloat - fighting for both speed and scale

What a cool race to be running 🫠

NSW ‘amused’ by Victoria’s claim to be in the data centre race Paul Karp Paul Karp NSW political correspondent Mar 4, 2026 – 5.26pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 5 min NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey says he is so confident the state is the destination of choice for the multibillion-dollar data centre boom that it can set higher standards on power and water use, and he finds it amusing that Victoria considers itself in competition with its northern neighbour. “NSW is always going to remain, itself, as a premium destination for data centres,” Mookhey told a state parliament estimates hearing on Wednesday. The data centre building boom is one of the key trends to watch in 2026. Bethany Rae “Victoria, I’m sure, sees itself in competition with us – they always do. “And it’s not just in data centres – it’s in coffee, it’s in hotels, it’s in weather, sporting events. “We don’t consider ourselves in competition with Victoria, and I’m always amused they see themselves in competition with us.” Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has declared her government will be Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has declared her government will be “ruthless” in competition to attract data centres to her state, which has about 50 data centres to NSW’s 90. Companies including AirTrunk, Microsoft, NextDC, CDC and Amazon Web Services have beaten a path to the doors of senior ministers in both states to urge an accelerated rollout. Victoria approved a $1 billion NextDC facility in Port Melbourne in just 75 days. Asked by NSW shadow treasurer Scott Farlow at estimates whether NSW would aim to match that, Mookhey said the Minns government was yet to decide whether it would set a time target for approvals. “We don’t see ourselves in competition with Victoria,” Mookhey added. He said demand to build data centres in NSW was so high that the state could afford to set higher standards – yet to be released – on power and
