•Built in 1951 by the NSW Electricity Commission, the Casula Powerhouse (then known as the Liverpool Powerhouse), was one of a series of identical buildings erected to supplement electricity production during winter and power shortages. In 1955 the 250 foot stack was erected, replacing four shorter chimneys. Residents had complained that the smoke from the powerhouse dirtied their washing. The Powerhouse was closed in 1976, and bought by Liverpool Council in 1978 for $75 000.

Nice little art centre right next to Casula train station. There was an exhibit that was closed when I went but had a nice time here. Level 1 had a school holiday movie screen for kids (need to register). There were artworks on display that were for sale. I would most likely come back again.

We celebrated my sisters birthday tonight and what a great experience. The chef and hostess looked after our party wonderfully. The food, drinks and service was totally five stars. Thank you for making everything so easy from the initial consultation, menu planning to the actual night.We all had a fantastic time. Highly recommend and we will be back again!

Being an interstate visitor, I found this place to be eclectic, informative and a great use of the old powerhouse building. Loved the aesthetic of it, the exposed beams and the history of the building. They do concerts, shows and the food menu looked good too. Next time for sure. Would recommend a visit.

Visited the art centre in the weekend. It is an interesting old industrial building made of red brick with a tall metal chimney. The art gallery inside had a varied range of art work related to nature and the environment. There was some interesting pieces, I’d recommend this place to everyone. There was toilets, cafes, plenty of parking and it’s located near the train station.

Although it is a small museum, there is heaps to see. And it is worth a visit. When i visited, there was an interesting exhibit on where your voice lit up lights and echoed your voice back to you. There is a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a kids' play area outside. It's close to public transport. Well, really, it is the only building close by the train station.
