Construction on IC3 SuperWest remains on budget and on schedule, with Stage 1 expected to complete by September 2026.

What did Macquarie Technology management say?
Chief Executive David Tudehope said:
Our capital structure has become increasingly diversified through the introduction of the Australian Government’s NRFC as a strategic investor. Combined with our existing debt facilities, this long-term source of capital provides additional financial flexibility to support the development of sovereign secure digital infrastructure, cyber security services and future growth initiative.
What’s next for Macquarie Technology?
The company expects modest FY27 EBITDA growth, assuming revenue from IC3 SuperWest Phase 1 begins in the second half. Investment will ramp up in people, AI-ready infrastructure, and product development to support anticipated growth across cyber security, cloud, and networking.
Macquarie Technology’s focus remains on expanding capacity, finalising customer agreements for major data centre projects, and supporting innovation in AI and cloud for business and government clients. The METC project is progressing, with community features and academic partnerships planned, although major construction is still subject to approvals.
