Last month, Taylor was proud to sponsor the coffee cart at the Property Council of Australia's NSW Data & AI Summit in Sydney, a fitting way to mark the occasion. It marks fifteen years of Taylor's ongoing partnership with the Property Council, a relationship built over more than a decade of showing up, listening and contributing to the conversations shaping NSW's built environment.

This year's summit turned its attention to one of the most pressing infrastructure questions in the country: how does NSW turn data centre policy ambition into real, deliverable projects? The Hon. Paul Scully MP, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, opened proceedings with a keynote on what attracts global data centre and AI investment, and where NSW risks falling behind. From there, the day moved through planning reform, the delivery challenge facing skilled trades, battery storage and grid stability, and what social licence looks like for a sector growing faster than almost any other in the country.

Taylor has been building data centre infrastructure in Australia for more than fifteen years, delivering over $500 million in large scale projects for some of the world's largest cloud providers. In that time, the sector has changed almost beyond recognition. Power densities have climbed, cooling requirements have shifted, and the timeframes clients expect have compressed. What has not changed is the need for certainty. When a client commits capital to a data centre build, they need to know it will be watertight, tested and ready on the date agreed, not close to it.

We were glad to support this year's summit, keep attendees caffeinated, and look forward to continuing the conversation as NSW works through what it will take to deliver the next generation of data centre infrastructure.
