2 new Tritium RTM75s - although Evie app currently only lists them as 50kW.
Possibly the first set with the new Arena funding.

I found I hadn't included Sydney in my previous ARENA maps, but I checked it quickly and yep, orange dot right over that intersection! That's the first of 403 locations nationally, quite a milestone!

Having chargers at shops and fast food joints makes a lot more sense than doing it at servos, so kudos to Evie to work that out.
On that point, Ampol are being ‘brave’. I mean, what is remotely pleasant about recharging at a servo? Unless is it a highway service centre, and you can go somewhere close by to have a sit-down meal or do something else useful, they are about the worst places imaginable.

I forever rave about how Ampol/Evie Seven Hills has a squeegee, the air compressor, bins etc right next to the charger. Why not pump up your tyres while you charge? And they have a Hungry Jacks (hello) and a GyG within spitting distance, plus a Maccas a few doors away. Not exactly an endorsement, but worthwhile.
Now, if Hungry Jacks installed an air compressor and a squeegee...
Evie Facebook stated the Cabramatta site is open.
Not showing up on the in-app map yet.
I did favourite the site when it appeared earlier and it's showing one station online and one offline.

Local DC chargers (>=50kW) are:
At the risk of bragging, of those 26 sites, I've charged at 23 of them.
For the purpose of this exercise, 25kW sites (Including Chargefox Fyshwick & all Jolt sites in Sydney) don't count. Fyshwick is handy when you're ubering, nobody wants a trip, and you're hoping for a long run getting someone home from Capital Brewing Company next door. Uber in Canberra has absurd waits between rides. Jolt at Mona Vale is only good for Ubering if you want to take a 2-3 hour nap at 4am, even though it's signposted with a 1 hour parking limit. But you're never going to get serious charge using a 25kW site that charges at 15-18kW with a 1 hour parking limit.

It looks like it's moved a little bit - from Stanhope Gardens Shopping Centre - about 5km away. Probably for the better as there are no other chargers planned that far out.
But it does make sense - there was always some flexibility in the locations, apart from Ampol, none of them were going to have locations locked in for 50 or 100 sites nationwide.
