帕拉玛塔动力博物馆首席执行官丽莎·哈维拉在项目开放前十周宣布辞职。1哈维拉自2019年起领导这一澳大利亚最具雄心的文化基础设施项目之一，但其离职恰逢新南威尔士州政府对该机构的治理和采购问题进行调查。1该博物馆定于11月7日开放。1
调查源于去年10月的受保护举报人披露。1今年3月，议会就帕拉玛塔项目的预算超支问题提出质询。1艾比·加尔文将从9月1日起接任临时首席执行官一职。1
该项目历程曲折。政府2015年宣布动力博物馆将从乌尔蒂莫迁至帕拉玛塔，但2020年格拉迪斯·贝雷吉克利安政府改变了方向，决定保留乌尔蒂莫博物馆。12021年拆除威洛格罗夫遗产别墅引发了遗产保护运动。1
The chief executive of Powerhouse Parramatta has resigned just ten weeks before the museum's scheduled opening on November 7, marking a significant blow to one of Australia's most ambitious cultural infrastructure projects.1 Lisa Havilah, who led the initiative since her appointment in 2019, stepped down amid an ongoing New South Wales government investigation into governance and procurement issues at the institution.1 Abby Galvin will assume the role of interim chief executive effective September 1.1
The departure occurs against a backdrop of mounting scrutiny of the project's management. A protected whistleblower disclosure made in October prompted the government to launch its investigation.1 In March, parliamentary questions were raised regarding budget overruns on the Parramatta project.1 Havilah's resignation raises questions about cultural leadership and institutional accountability as the organization prepares for its public debut.
The Powerhouse Parramatta project itself has been marked by significant policy shifts and controversy. The government initially announced in 2015 that the Powerhouse Museum would relocate from Ultimo to Parramatta.1 However, the Gladys Berejiklian government reversed this direction in 2020, deciding to retain the Ultimo museum.1 The project subsequently faced heritage preservation challenges, including the 2021 demolition of the Willow Grove heritage mansion, which sparked a heritage protection campaign.1
