No privatisation: keep the Powerhouse petition

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,

    The potential for small businesses, cultural / public spaces and events with this amazing historical backdrop is far too special to loose.

    This proposed sell-off is not in the public interest.

    Other museums are in the city so why not leave this one there. I would not find it convenient at the site suggested in the media. It would not be good for tourism.

    I loved going to the Powerhouse Museum as a kid, it was fun and educational. I want to be able to keep bringing my kids here and absolutely agree it should remain a public space!
