Submissions in response to ‘consultation’ for ‘revitalisation’ of the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo.
As noted on 22 February (see PMA News 2023 0n… Here:), associated with the ‘closure’ of the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo on 4 February 2024, to allow for 3 years of ‘Heritage Revitalisation’, arts minister John Graham, through Infrastructure NSW, agreed to a (ninth) round of consultation sessions in late February: at the Powerhouse Museum near the Goods Line on 15 and 17 February, and on-line on 19 and 22 February. Details of the status of design and planning, were available from  Infrastructure NSW Here. The site provided access to:
Site location  ;  Project timeline and the planning process  ;  Indicative design
Considerable criticism was made about the consultation process,(See PMA news Feb-March 2024 here) and people were also able to make a written ‘Feedback’ submission on line by Sunday February 25.
Many extensive and well-informed submissions were made, and some are provided here:

Tom Lockley: Submission – Tom Lockley

Reply from INSW: What appears to be a standard reply was sent out from INSW, including: ‘…Confirming receipt of your submission, which will form part of the community feedback collected throughout the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) pre-lodgement community consultation period to help inform the planning process. Infrastructure NSW is leading the design and delivery of the project on behalf of the NSW Government, in partnership with the Powerhouse Museum…’ Read Here: 4 March Response from INSW
Disappointingly, it also advised:  ‘Please note that programming of the museum is not part of the planning process, and detail on the re-opening exhibitions and programs will be revealed in due course by the Powerhouse Museum.’ [It frustrates many museum experts that the content of the museum, in both sites, remains unclear, as building changes are made!]
