NSW GOVERNMENT TO RETAIN ULTIMO MUSEUM

Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum at Ultimo will continue to welcome visitors to its world renowned exhibits, with the NSW Government announcing it will remain open and operate alongside the new state-of-the-art facility planned for Western Sydney.

As a result Sydney will have two world-class cultural facilities, providing a significant boost for the arts, tourism and employment sectors.

“Sydney is a global city of more than five million people and this will allow us to provide an outstanding visitor experience in the areas of technology, science, engineering and design at two major locations,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

“It will mean far more people have access to many more of the amazing exhibits held by the Powerhouse and importantly, help us create vibrant centres to inspire learning in the fields of sciences and applied arts for the next generation.”

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said: “We are focused on growing our economy and building our state, with the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, Parramatta Light Rail, Metro West train line and building a new world class museum at Parramatta all part of that.”

The retention of Powerhouse at Ultimo will ensure jobs are retained, while the new museum at Parramatta will support around 1100 construction jobs, up to 2400 indirect jobs, and hundreds more once opened.

The Ultimo venue will evolve and grow alongside the newly announced Tech Central, revamped Sydney Fish Market, and rejuvenated Darling Harbour precincts.
