A heritage villa sat proudly on the banks of the Parramatta River for 135 years but now hopes of it being rebuilt in a new location are in tatters.
The 1800s villa, Willow Grove, was set to be reassembled brick by brick at an alternative location after being torn down two years ago to make way for the Powerhouse Museum opening in 2025.Willow Grove was meant to be rebuilt brick by brick in an alternative location."It's a tragedy it was torn down, but to rebuild it now would be simply silly - it's been branded fake heritage," Arts Minister John Graham said.
It is the latest in a pre-budget string of projects scrapped or scaled back by the government including the Powerhouse Museum rebuild at Ultimo, a new Penrith Stadium and the Northern Beaches Tunnel.
