Sydney Live.

{dc_count}-site Sydney inventory, ranked by published capacity.

Click a row to fly the map there. Click any marker for the operator's own published figure. Lime markers are Western-Sydney sites; petrol elsewhere. Marker area scales to disclosed MW. Switch the hex underlay to read the same neighbourhood through a different lens.

Coverage note: this is every Sydney-basin data centre we could identify and source from public records (NSW Planning, operator pages, AEMO, industry filings). If you're aware of a site that's missing, drop us an email and we'll get it added.

Where the heat hurts hardest.

Sydney V2 heat-vulnerability composite (recency-weighted). Adapts the Harlan 2013 Maricopa length-of-residency factor; the Phoenix-area academic HVI literature (Harlan 2013, Chuang and Gober 2015, Reid 2009) is the methodology backbone. Hex fill = sensitivity V2 (deprivation index × housing stress × canopy × recency-of-arrival). Click a hex for the full neighbourhood read; click an LGA row to focus the map there. Use the dropdown bottom-right to filter to a single LGA.

Data-coverage note: regional-fringe LGAs (Lithgow, Central Coast, Mosman, Wollongong) may show n/a for canopy and/or population where the upstream joins (per-LGA canopy %, Greater Sydney population) don't extend to them. V2 sensitivity is calculated from underlying factors (recency, deprivation, housing stress) which is why a fringe LGA like Lithgow can still rank high (0.91) despite the supplementary gaps. We'll close these gaps as the regional data sources catch up.

What's stressing the basin right now.

Live overlay of three feeds at once: NSW Rural Fire Service active perimeters, Ausgrid outage points with customers impacted, and GTFS-RT transit vehicles running behind schedule. Toggle each layer with the chips below the stats. Click any marker for the operator's own status line; click any row in the list to fly the map to it.

Where the trees and species are, and where they aren't.

Toggle the underlay between canopy coverage and biodiversity survey status. The list down the left ranks LGAs by their gap to a published canopy target (most behind first); only 17 of the 37 basin LGAs publish a target. Click a hex for the full neighbourhood read.

Methodology note: canopy % here is per-LGA cover from NSW DPHI 2022 mesh-block data and includes national parks, rural land and bushland reserves. Council urban-forest strategies usually quote urban-area-only figures, which are lower (e.g. Hornsby council reports ~39% urban vs ~80% LGA-wide; Sutherland ~25% urban vs ~66% LGA-wide). Both readings are correct; they measure different things.
