Powerhouse decision an investment in 'museums not just motorways'

The NSW government is forgoing the $195 million it expected to reap from the sale of the Powerhouse Museum, with Treasurer Dominic Perrottet declaring the decision an infrastructure investment in “museums not just motorways”.

The Powerhouse Museum is currently open under COVID-19 restrictions, with the upper levels accessible to the general public and the heritage halls available for booked tours., congratulated the “passionate” campaigners and museum staff. Campaigners have argued building a new museum in Parramatta should not mean the loss of a central Sydney institution, which is part of the city's industrial heritage. They have also argued many of the exhibits, including large planes and trains, cannot be easily moved.Former Powerhouse deputy director Jennifer Sanders said she thought the decision was “fantastic” and “win-win” for Parramatta and the central city.

One of the ideas floated for the Ultimo site is the construction of a new lyric theatre to give Sydney another bigger venue to compete with Melbourne for large productions. The building and construction union, CFMEU NSW, said earlier this week it would put “bodies in front of machinery” to protect Willow Grove and St George’s Terrace, two heritage buildings earmarked to make way for the new museum in Parramatta.
