The state government has purchased land on the banks of the Parramatta River, as it prepares to move the facility from Ultimo in the city centre. Arts Minister Don Harwin says ‘the new Powerhouse Museum in Parramatta will not only benefit the local economy but will also provide valuable research and learning opportunities’.NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet says the government is committed to providing two world-class Powerhouse museums.

She warned: “The Premier should be under no illusion that if a finger is laid on any of these buildings, the community of Parramatta and heritage lovers from all over New South Wales, will put themselves in front of machinery to save them.”Next day, Don Harwin, close ally of Premier Berejiklian, slipped back into Cabinet and into the Arts portfolio following the withdrawal of his COVID restrictions fine; and the day after that came the announcement of the backflip.The U-turn was part of Berejiklian’s deal with Treasurer Perrottet, the premier-in-waiting, to bring back Harwin, her ally and his factional foe.
