@ecows3 @Don_Harwin @steven_issa @parracity @nationaltrustau The State listed #ROXYTheatre must be fully restored and retrofitted for live theatre, music in Parramatta. There’s been enough demolition of meaningful #Centralcity heritage. @Create_NSW

The threadbare neo-lib nostrum that everything must pay puts even our treasured parks at risk….#Sydney #planning #urbanisme
To pave our parks with gold, put up a parking lot (or convention centre) https://t.co/S1aukkVtz1

Willow Grove deconstruction

Wrong solution!

Keep Willowgrove & St. George's Terraces & redesign MAAS Parramatta to include their heritage as part of the Museum - sows in society, culture & environment from the get-go

Sydney Uni’s unsolicited bid for the heritage Cumberland Hospital precinct + plans for student housing by Deerubbin Land Council beside Parra Gaol is a mirror image of Redfern tossed with Packer’s casino fiasco. Cast your eyes west @SeanNic @emfarrelly https://t.co/OFrLaZpYj7

Parramatta's heritage assets have long been undervalued & lacking coherent #tourismstrategy. The Female Factory precinct as a cultural/tourism zone would create the arts anchor to benefit Greater Parramatta region.
This must be a priority @destinationnsw

@deemadigan The milkshake video can be repurposed quite effectively and cheaply you know...

We need strong heritage protections so the buildings and places we love can survive the depredations of development cycles from one generation to the next.

"BUZZING CANTEENS"? 🤣🤣🤣 envisioned by NSW govt. "...retail vision and strategy for the museum, which outlines plans for “large format buzzing canteens, cafes, small bars and operators that combine food production with retail’’ https://t.co/1rh2VbnRPo

[Donna Davis @DonnaDavisMP]

Genuine commitment to arts & culture goes beyond bricks & mortar it’s about significant recurring funding to ensure our institutions can curate “world class” exhibitions. @GladysB @Dom_Perrottet show no commitment to arts & culture just the construction industry @JodiMcKayMP

[Donna Davis @DonnaDavisMP]

6 years & the @maasmuseum farce is still playing out with no concrete plan for the Ultimo site, no evidence that @parracity Powerhouse will even be a museum, no commitment from #nswgov for @RiversideParra & Willow Grove destined for the dumpster. #SaveWillowGrove #GreenBan

[National Art School @NAS_AU]

[Public Holiday Opening Hours] We will be closed Good Friday (2 Apr) and Easter Monday (5 Apr).

We will be open from 11am–5pm on Easter Saturday (3 Apr), so you can still get your Dobell Drawing Prize #22 fix.

We wish you all a safe and happy Easter break.
