I am writing to you in support of the erection of a museum devoted to the display of heritage technology artifacts in the vicinity of Parramatta CBD. However, I strongly object to the demolition of St George's Terrace and Willow Grove in order to allegedly allow this to happen. Surely another State owned site could be found to accommodate the new museum.
Yours faithfully,

After traveling around the world and seeing the number of countries that have buildings that we all admire from the past i feel it would be the wrong thing to pulled down these 2 magnificent homes. Sydney now is looking so ugly with high rise units everywhere and all our past history is being pulled down to make Sydney look like Russia or China. Just so ugly so let's wake up and keep our heritage. The powerhouse museum could be place behind Parramatta goal in the Cumberland mental estate and the new metro train will run past the old gaol which will make it easy to get too. Please please retain something from our past as Sydney is becoming quite ugly. Thank you.

Good afternoon,
I would like to register my objection and concerns regarding the demolition of the heritage listed buildings in Parramatta.
While I think a new museum in Parramatta is a great move and probably long over due, I'm sure there are far better locations with less impact on our local history.
I have lived and worked in the area my whole life and so many heritage buildings have already gone.

Please reconsider the destruction of this significant part of our second settlement heritage before it is too late.

DEAR SIR/MADAM,

I AM WRITING TO YOU STRONGLY OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF WILLOW GROVE AND ST GEORGES TERRACE WHICH IS VERY MUCH PART OF OUR “HISTORY” HERE IN PARRAMATTA.

THIS HERITAGE BUILDING,WILLOW GROVE, WAS WERE I WAS BORN( 73 YEARS AGO) AND I HAVE LIVED IN THE PARRAMATTA/HILLS AREA ALL MY LIFE.

TO SEE IT DEMOLISHED TO BE REPLACED BY “ANOTHER” CONCRETE JUNGLE IS APPALLING TO SAY THE LEAST.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY DISAPPROVAL OF THE NSW LIBERAL GOVERNMENTS PROPOSAL.

We oppose the destruction of the historic buildings, Willow Grove and st George's Terrace, as well as the historic female factory site at Cumberland hospital. These buildings are integral to the history of early colonial Australia and the destruction of these buildings is a travesty.

Please do not demolish those lovely heritage houses in Parramatta. We have so little of our history left. The Powerhouse Museum should be left alone.

DO NOT DO THIS - AS A LIFETIME VOTER FOR LIBERALS I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM AT THE NEXT ELECTION

I am strongly opposed to the demolition of heritage buildings in Parramatta for the land for the Powerhouse Museum. Our generation is supposed preserve heritage not destroy it.

Sir,
I strongly object to the demolition of WIllow Grove and St Georges Terrace t Parramatta.
100,000s of Voters agree with me. Retaining these buildings will provide a sense of past History, too many buildings all over Parramatta have been lost with this massive rebuilding of the City.
Look at places like The Rocks and Pyrmont the Heritage retained have turned them into fascinating places to live and visit.

Dear Sir


I wish to record my opposition to the destruction of Willow grove and St Georges Terrace in Parramatta to make way for a museum. As one who grew up in Parramatta, I know these buildings and have strong attachments to them. A museum is in a sense store house of dead things, while these buildings are functioning and also show our heritage. Once gone they can never be replaced. It is ironic that on one hand a building is being built to preserve heritage and at the same time even more significant heritage property is to be destroyed. Surely a museum, together with nearby aesthetically pleasing heritage buildings, would more attractive to visitors. If the museum structure is to be like the other building going up in Parramatta, I fear it will be soulless, an eyesore.


I hereby ask that plans be changed so that there will be a museum and Willow Grove and St Georges Terrace will remain.
