Powerhouse Parramatta opens this weekend
$915 million 'Opera House of western Sydney' opens with a 23-day festival amid scrutiny over cost and dissent over its direction
Powerhouse Parramatta opens to the public on Saturday. The $915 million venue has a steel exoskeleton built from 12,000 tonnes of steel and will open with a 23-day festival. In late August, CEO Lisa Havilah was stood down while a New South Wales Treasury investigation into allegations over the museum's governance and procurement practices unfolded.
