Paxon acted as financial and commercial adviser to Arts NSW (now Create NSW) for the business case for a New Museum in Western Sydney.
Powerhouse Parramatta is the largest investment in cultural infrastructure since the Sydney Opera House and is the first cultural institution in Western Sydney.
It will feature over 18,000 square metres of museum exhibition and public spaces in various size, scale and offering.
Paxon’s financial and commercial advice assessed the various development options available to the State of NSW to achieve the optimal overall outcome from a capital and recurrent funding perspective.
