flag A $1.5B Sydney data center sparks backlash for cutting trees and blocking housing in a transit-rich zone.

flag A proposed $1.5 billion data centre in Sydney’s Macquarie Park, near a metro station and national park, has drawn criticism for prioritizing industrial development over housing amid a severe shortage. flag The 51-meter facility, requiring 170 megawatts of power and 509 trees to be cut, would occupy land zoned for 9,600 new homes within 800 meters of transit. flag Local officials argue repurposing existing data sites could yield hundreds of homes, while the state government maintains a balance between housing and job-creating industry is essential despite rising energy and water demands from data centres.
