PUR - Heritage and Archaeology Consultant Services - INSW3524

The Powerhouse Ultimo Renewal (PUR) project vision is to see Powerhouse Ultimo focus on design and fashion, presenting exhibitions that showcase the museum’s significant collections, international exclusive exhibitions and programs that support the design and fashion industries. The renewal will deliver expanded and refurbished exhibition and public space, connecting Powerhouse Ultimo to the Sydney CBD by re-orienting the museum to the Goods Line and adjacent dining, entertaining and cultural precincts. A significant investment in the development of a creative industries precinct will deliver subsidised studio and workspaces at Ultimo, resulting in a vibrant precinct. A design competition has taken place, led by Create NSW, with the successful scheme awarded in December 2022. The PUR project is being delivered by Infrastructure NSW on behalf of Powerhouse and Create. The delivery includes completion of a Stage 2 State Significant Development Application (SSDA) along with the preparation of tender documentation for a contractor to construct the project. This request is to engage the services of Curio Projects, an experienced heritage and archaeology consultant, to support the project through the Stage 2 SSDA in relation to 3 areas – heritage impact and conservation management, Aboriginal archaeology and historical archaeology.
