Investigation into Powerhouse Parramatta museum under way as stop-gap leader steps in

An official investigation into allegations of misconduct has been launched regarding the Powerhouse Parramatta museum project, coinciding with the appointment of a stop-gap leader to oversee the transition.

Despite the ongoing inquiry and leadership change, the high-profile cultural project—frequently described as the "Opera House of the west"—remains on track to open its doors to the public as scheduled on November 7, according to the New South Wales arts minister.
