Supporting Western Sydney's Growth

Western Sydney is one of Australia's fastest-growing regions. Population growth, new housing, employment areas and major projects such as the Western Sydney International Airport are increasing demand for reliable electricity, secure digital services and flexible places to work.

At the same time, Australia's energy system is changing, with more electricity generated from renewable sources. This transition requires new infrastructure to ensure reliability during peak demand, heatwaves and unexpected outages.

Energy storage, data infrastructure and innovation-led workspaces all play a role in supporting this growth and ensuring communities remain connected, resilient and well served over the long term.

Planning at Kemps Creek

Castle Group is undertaking early planning for a proposed technology and innovation park at Kemps Creek, located within the Liverpool Local Government Area.

The proposed Kemps Creek technology and innovation park describes a long-term, place-based vision for how critical energy and digital infrastructure, innovation-led industry and flexible workspaces could be planned and managed at this location, subject to approval.

The concept provides a framework for infrastructure-led development that brings together:

  • Energy and digital infrastructure
  • Co-working and flexible workspaces that support collaboration, research and technology-enabled businesses
  • Potential for other innovation-driven businesses over time

Located adjacent to existing high-voltage electricity infrastructure, the site has been identified as suitable for this type of use due to its alignment with established planning principles and regional infrastructure needs.

Delivering Essential Infrastructure

Subject to planning approval, the proposed Kemps Creek proposed technology and innovation park may include a combination of essential infrastructure and complementary uses that support innovation and employment.

The proposed Western Sydney Super Battery Kemps Creek is a large-scale battery energy storage system designed to support electricity reliability, grid stability and the integration of renewable energy. Energy storage helps ensure electricity is available when demand is highest, including during evenings, heatwaves and unexpected outages.

The proposed data centre is a foundational digital infrastructure facility designed to support growing data demand and the digital services relied upon by communities and businesses, including healthcare, education, emergency services, government systems and everyday online services.

Planned together, these components support:

The technology and innovation park may also include co-working and flexible workspace designed to support collaboration, research and technology-enabled businesses. These spaces are intended to complement the core infrastructure uses, providing places for people, ideas and innovation to connect without changing the primary infrastructure focus of the site.

Planned together, these elements reflect the increasing interdependence of energy, data and modern work practices and support a coordinated approach to infrastructure and employment growth.

Safety, Assessment and Regulation

Safety is a baseline requirement of the planning system. Any proposed battery, data or associated facility must:

  • meet strict Australian and international safety standards
  • be assessed by independent technical experts
  • involve consultation with emergency services
  • demonstrate that risks are identified and appropriately managed

Environmental impacts are assessed through an Environmental Impact Statement, which includes independent studies into matters such as noise, traffic, bushfire risk, water, biodiversity and visual impacts. Where impacts are identified, mitigation measures are required as part of any approval.

Early Planning and Community Engagement

Castle Group, through its infrastructure business, is undertaking early planning at Kemps Creek for infrastructure required to support Western Sydney's continued growth.

The proposed technology and innovation park provides a long-term framework for how critical energy and digital infrastructure, innovation-led industry and co-working spaces could be planned and managed at this location, subject to planning approval.

The proposed project is in the early planning stage, and this is when community feedback is most valuable. Castle Group is committed to:

  • engaging early and transparently
  • providing clear, factual information
  • listening to concerns and questions
  • explaining how feedback can inform design and mitigation through the planning process

Community engagement complements the formal planning system and helps ensure local perspectives are understood and considered.
