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 a historical icon of Sydney, please leave it alone.

It’s current location is CENTRAL for the ENTIRETY Sydney and the surrounding areas of Wollongong, the Central Coast/Newcastle. Sydney is not JUST the Western Suburbs!
I agree that different areas of Sydney should have cultural institutions, but to uproot an institution with so much history is a travesty.
The $10million would be better spent establishing a regional gallery in a destination town. Just look at Bendigo gallery, or the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams,USA. People FLOCK to these regional centres- boosting the economy and enriching the area.
