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,

    A ridiculous, cynical heartless plan lacking integrity, intelligence and of course, community consultation

    Moving our cultural icons out of the inner city and selling the buildings for private residential development is not in the interest of the city and its residents. This practice must be stopped.

    If they must move the PowerHouse, how about a high school instead on this site.

    Have a look at the amazing work New York town planners are doing to make their space an amazing one. Don’t densify the city with apartments – keep it open and inviting.
