Response to Submissions report released
The NSW Government’s heritage revitalisation of the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo has progressed to the next stage in the planning process with the release of the Response to Submissions (RtS) report.
Following the public exhibition of the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) and supporting Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in May 2024, Infrastructure NSW prepared a response to the issues raised in the submissions received.
The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) have released the report and updated planning documentation, which is now available on the Major Projects planning portal.
The RtS includes an updated Heritage Impact Statement to reflect the State Heritage Register Listing curtilage extension, gazetted on 12 July 2024.
The SSDA is being re-exhibited until 7 October 2024, and the community can make a submission directly to DPHI through the portal.
Where can I view the report and make a submission?
All planning documentation relating to the SSDA is available to view on the NSW Government Planning Portal.
What happens next?
At the completion of re-exhibition, the next step in the planning process will involve DPHI:
- assessing the project SSDA in accordance with legislation, plans, policies and guidelines;
- making a recommendation on SSDA approval; and
- outlining any conditions that may be applied to the development.
The NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces will make the final determination.
