Status: Approved / Permitted (State Significant Development Approval) | Location: 132 McCredie Road, Guildford West, NSW 2161, Australia
The Project Pluto Data Centre at 132 McCredie Road in Guildford West, Sydney, represents a significant hyperscale digital infrastructure development by Goodman Group on a 7.1-hectare former Castrol industrial lubricants site in Western Sydney. Classified as a state-significant development, the campus comprises approximately 29,444 square meters of gross floor area distributed across two principal three-story buildings containing nine high-density data halls, supporting infrastructure, and ancillary office spaces. The facility is planned to provide a total critical IT capacity of 68 megawatts across two staged 34-megawatt increments, creating substantial infrastructure for hyperscale cloud providers, artificial intelligence workloads, enterprise computing, and other high-density digital applications. Electrical infrastructure benefits from the site's proximity to the Guildford West Endeavour Energy transmission network and local substation infrastructure, providing direct access to the regional electricity system. Resilience is reinforced through N+1 and 2N static modular uninterruptible power supply configurations and standby emergency diesel generation systems designed to maintain critical operations during utility interruptions. Thermal management incorporates water-cooled chillers equipped with open cooling towers and variable-speed pumps, supporting efficient heat rejection while providing the infrastructure needed for future deployment of high-density liquid-to-chip direct cooling technologies. Sustainability measures include a 500-kilowatt rooftop solar installation and rainwater harvesting systems designed to reduce resource consumption and improve the environmental performance of the campus. Security infrastructure includes perimeter fencing, biometric authentication, zero-trust physical access controls, and continuous protection of critical operational areas. The development also incorporates subterranean dark-fiber routes connecting directly with Sydney's major carrier and telecommunications networks, providing high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for hyperscale customers. With scalable critical capacity, resilient electrical infrastructure, advanced cooling, renewable-energy integration, and extensive fiber connectivity, Project Pluto is positioned as an important component of Sydney's expanding hyperscale and AI-ready data center ecosystem.
