悉尼西部耗资9.15亿澳元的Powerhouse Parramatta博物馆因高管不当行为指控启动正式调查1。首席执行官Lisa Havilah已于本周四暂时下台,首席运营官Mark Wilsdon休假协助调查1。州政府任命建筑师Abbie Galvin为临时首席执行官,并聘请前歌剧院首席执行官Louise Herron担任战略顾问,两人将于周二开始任职1。
调查涉及多笔采购交易。被审视的支出项目包括约600万澳元的采购交易(在首席执行官的授权权限范围内),其中纪录片支出至少170万澳元、营销约500万澳元、场地住宿内部设计33.35万澳元1。初步调查于2025年3月基于举报人投诉启动,正式不当行为调查于去年12月开始1。
尽管面临调查,博物馆仍计划于2025年11月7日按时开放1。州艺术部长John Graham表示,两名高管在详细流程中工作,同时确保流程顺利推进已变得"不可持续"1。创意产业秘书Melanie Hawyes表示,这些指控需要接受测试,"这正是调查将要做的"1。
An investigation into misconduct allegations has been initiated at Sydney's Powerhouse Parramatta museum, a A$915 million cultural institution in western Sydney.1 Chief Executive Officer Lisa Havilah has stepped down temporarily, while Chief Operating Officer Mark Wilsdon has taken leave to assist with the inquiry.1 The formal investigation into misconduct began in December of last year, following complaints that prompted a preliminary review in March 2025.1
The investigation has scrutinized procurement decisions and expenditures made by senior management within their delegated authority.1 These include a documentary project valued at approximately A$1.7 million, marketing spending of roughly A$500,000, and venue accommodation interior design costs of A$335,500, alongside other purchasing transactions totaling around A$6 million.1 Arts Minister John Graham stated that "two senior leaders have been working in detailed processes, and simultaneously ensuring the process runs smoothly has become unsustainable."1
The museum has appointed architect Abbie Galvin as interim chief executive, supported by strategic adviser Louise Herron, the former chief executive of the Opera House, who will both commence duties on Tuesday.1 Despite the leadership transition and ongoing investigation, the institution remains on track to open to the public on November 7, 2025, as originally scheduled.1 Secretary for Creative Industries Melanie Hawyes noted that "these allegations need to be tested, and that is what the investigation will do."1
