The $300 million Powerhouse revitalization plan was never seriously on the table — the Ultimo site is now an empty shell while millions were spent turning a Castle Hill discovery center into a storage warehouse. With the Harwood site’s market value under review and heritage concerns mounting, critics warn the museum’s soul is being stripped away. Experts had long flagged the original plan as a costly failure, and now, with executive changes and alleged tactics like defunding and access cuts, the push to sell off the Ultimo property is back — seen by many as a deliberate strategy to dismantle heritage for profit. The community demands accountability, arguing the museum’s original mission — a people’s institution — is vanishing, leaving Sydney’s cultural heart at risk of becoming a hollow monument to broken promises.
