From media reports so far, it appears that the Parramatta Museum will be a totally different concept without permanent displays. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced on July 4 that the Powerhouse would retain its building and operate across two sites — the Ultimo site and the planned purpose-built museum in Parramatta, due to be completed by 2024.

Berejiklian had insisted as recently as 31 May that the government was pushing ahead with plans to move the Powerhouse to Parramatta, an election promise first announced in 2014 by her predecessor Mike Baird. If you are thinking of visiting over the next few days, note that the Turbine Hall was closed on the 1st of June.
The Powerhouse Museum’s current home in Ultimo, which was due to close to the public on July 1 before being sold to property developers and likely demolished, has … A group known as Save the Powerhouse, led by Ultimo residents Patricia Johnson and Jean-Pierre Alexandre, is calling on the state to inject A$50m ($35m) into “urgent repair works and guaranteed ongoing maintenance” of the current museum building after “years of neglect and under-funding”. At last some sensible decision making by the Berejiklian government and credit must be given where credit is due. After years of campaigns against the move, the well known Sydney powerhouse museum at Ultimo will permanently close its exhibition halls on the 30th of June with the other parts set to close soon after

New reports show that the collection will be scattered around the state The Powerhouse Museum's transport hall was scheduled to close for good on 30 June, four days before the NSW government called off relocation plans Katherine Lu A surprise decision by the New South Wales government to cancel a On 4 July, NSW’s Liberal premier Gladys Berejiklian and treasurer Dominic Perrottet announced that the Powerhouse Museum—part of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS)—will remain open in central Ultimo and operate alongside a new “world-class” facility to be built in Parramatta, 23km to the west. Two of the museum’s halls—home to suspended aircraft and a rare 1850s steam locomotive—were due to close for good on 30 June, ahead of a full closure in July 2021. “The enquiry has to ask why.”Subscribe to The Art Newspaper’s digital newsletter for your daily digest of essential news, views and analysis from the international art world delivered directly to your inbox.Find out how The Art Newspaper’s content platforms can help you reach an informed, influential body of collectors, cultural and creative professionals. The government said last December that it had allocated A$18m ($12.6m) to the project between 2015 and June 2019. Parker was responding to news that the Ultimo home of Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, which was due to close to the public on July 1, had been given a last-minute reprieve. According to the government’s 4 July statement, NSW “will explore if some of the funds earmarked for relocation costs could be used on renovations”.Millions of dollars of public money have already been spent on planning the ill-fated relocation. The design for Sydney's relocated Powerhouse Museum has been revealed. Unfortunately it's too late now Well I'm glad I saw this old aquaintance there years ago. Has Gladys actually come out and described any great benefit she's bringing to the NSW public by destroying one of the best museums of its type that I've seen in recent years?

Sanders, a former curator and deputy director of the Powerhouse, helped oversee its 1988 redevelopment in Ultimo.However, campaigners say their core demands for the government remain unanswered, including an overdue funding boost for the museum and a full community consultation over the culture hub proposed for Parramatta. After years of campaigns against the move, the well known Sydney powerhouse museum at Ultimo will permanently close its exhibition halls on the 30th of June with the other parts set to close soon after It is estimated that more than 1 third of the items on display will be moved into permanent storage at Castle Hill with the rest moving to Parramata The Public Service Association union estimated that 95 staff members would lose their jobs in the closure, while proposals to disperse the collection among regional museums prompted fears that objects could be damaged in transit or stored in inadequate conditions. Local media reports attributed the sudden reversal to escalating protests as the closure date approached, as well as to a decline in the property market, which stymied the government’s ambition to raise A$195m ($136m) from selling off the Ultimo site.The decision to preserve the museum “shows that the Premier is listening to the people of NSW”, says Jennifer Sanders from the Powerhouse Museum Alliance, a campaign group of museum benefactors, former trustees and arts leaders that has long condemned the move. It's tragic that the Daily Terror cynically tried to portray this as an East v West contest when it's far from that. "This project would be funny if it wasn't costing the community so much - $1.5 billion," Shadow Arts Minister Walt Secord said. By all means build a new museum at Parramatta, which appears to have widespread support, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater by abandoning the Powerhouse Museum site at Ultimo. The new and expanded Powerhouse Museum will form the centrepiece of a new arts and cultural precinct on the banks of the Parramatta River, including a modernised Riverside Theatres complex, cafes, bars and public spaces. A parliamentary enquiry due to begin at the end of July is set to bring further scrutiny on the government’s handling of the Powerhouse Museum and other NSW cultural projects.
