TechControversial $1.2bn Sydney datacentre plan scrapped amid ‘emerging’ regulations

Goodman Group has withdrawn its application for the $1.2bn Project Mars datacentre in Lane Cove, Sydney, citing a significantly changed policy and regulatory environment at state and federal levels. Residents had criticised the proposal over its proximity to schools, event spaces and green areas, as well as the concentration of datacentres in the area.
