Read more on Jamie's record to save the Powerhouse
Dear Premier,
I am writing to strongly protest against the sale of the Powerhouse building in Ultimo to property developers. This building is an integral part of Sydney’s unique landscape and should be kept for the public to enjoy.
The Powerhouse Museum is an important part of the city’s cultural life, and to see the building converted into apartments and taken away from the community is a disaster for all Australians.
Nationally significant buildings should be kept in public hands to ensure their preservation and long-term public use, rather than sold off to the highest bidder.
Yours sincerely,

It is inconceivable & financially irresponsible to consider moving the collection to another site and scrapping the historic structure.
Build a new building in Western Sydney to display more of the magnificent MAAS collection.
It is critical that we keep the story of this historic hub of old Sydney for future generations in its present location.
There should be a new Museum built in Parramatta to reflect its past and present history and for the many new generations in that area to proudly build together.
The is Museum has its roots in the precinct in which it is currently located’ ie. that of the old ‘Sydney Tech’ and that is what makes it very special to Sydney
Are we to loose what little we have left of our short cultural heritage.?
The day the Powerhouse moves is the day I will no longer support or be a member!!!
