Household names, often with preserved archives, have had their company stories written by academics, journalists, and former senior employees. Broader national studies have analysed the role that big business has played in a country’s economic development. While sometimes this work has alleged oppressive anti-competitive behaviour, much has been written from a more positive perspective. Business historians, influenced by the pioneering work of Alfred Chandler, have implicated the ‘visible hand’ of large scale enterprise in national economic development particularly through their competitive strategies and modernised governance structures, which have facilitated innovation, the integration of national markets, and the growth of professional bureaucracies. While our understanding of the role of big business has been enriched by an aggregation of case studies, some writers have sought to study its impact through economy-wide lenses. This has typically involved constructing sets of the largest 100 or 200 companies at periodic benchmark years through the twentieth century, and then analysing their characteristics – such as their size, industrial location, growth strategies, and market share - and how they changed over time.

    Attachment B Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Prepared for City of Sydney Issue C x January 2018 Project number 13 0581 Modern Movement in Central Sydney x Heritage Study Review EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was undertaken to provide a contextual framework to improve understanding post World War II and Modern Movement architecture and places in Central Sydney, which is a significant and integral component of its architectural heritage. Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

MERRETT UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2013-05 APRIL 2013 THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACTON ACT 0200 AUSTRALIA T 61 2 6125 3590 F 61 2 6125 5124 E [email protected] http://rse.anu.edu.au/CEH The Australian Bank Crashes of the 1890s Revisited David T. Merrett University of Melbourne Abstract Financial crises occurred in many countries in the early 1890s, most of which were connected to international capital flows. Australia, a major importer of capital, had difficulty borrowing after the Baring crisis. This paper argues that the consequences of the banking crash in early 1893 were shaped by local factors. A fortuitous legislative change averted a calamity by allowing for reconstruction rather than liquidation of banks; economic activity was depressed as banks became more conservative lenders; and the reconstructions reduced the wealth of domestic bank creditors and shareholders. We conclude by noting that there was no targeted policy response in the short or medium term to prevent a recurrence of such an event. The author would like to thank the referees for this journal, together with Bernard Attard, André Sammartino, John Waugh and the participants at the Financial Crises and Workouts: Historical Perspectives Workshop at the Australian National University on 5 September 2012 for their suggestions and advice. 1 Introduction Previous studies of the Australian bank crash of the 1890s have taken a local view of the episode within the context of a surge in and then cessation of British capital inflow.

    Dear Shareholder, the 8Th of April, 2017 Marks Westpac's 200Th

    7 April, 2017 Dear Shareholder, The 8th of April, 2017 marks Westpac’s 200th anniversary as Australia’s first bank, and oldest company. As an owner of Westpac, you share in the proud story of our company: indeed many of our shareholders’ family holdings have passed through generations. Given your support, I wanted to share with you an overview of how we are marking this significant milestone with a number of gifts designed to help Australia continue to thrive in our third century of business. The Westpac story is the red thread that winds through the tapestry of history in Australia and New Zealand. Two centuries ago, Governor Lachlan Macquarie had the foresight to call for the creation of a local currency—and a bank to issue it—to support the development of a private economy in the fledgling colony of New South Wales. On the 8th of April, 1817 three employees of the Bank of New South Wales opened the doors to our first customer in a property owned by Mary Reibey, around 200 metres from where today the ferries dock at Sydney’s Circular Quay. Since then we have continued to support the growth of trade and commerce in Australia and New Zealand. There have been the inevitable ups and downs but just as these nations have grown and adapted, so too has the Bank of New South Wales—now called Westpac. Today, our 40,000 people serve over 13 million customers across Australia and New Zealand. We are Australia’s second largest company, with a market capitalisation of over $100 billion.

Our ideas about what art museums should look like in the United States have changed significantly throughout the past 150 years of the building type’s history here. In the 1990s, the number of museums built grew exponentially, and often these buildings are works of art in their own right. This research looks closely at a recently-completed museum building in Denver, Colorado. Placed in a regional city in the middle of the United States, the Denver Art Museum explicitly wanted to replicate the success of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao with its new wing, making the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building the perfect site for an in-depth study of the Bilbao-era paradigm for museums, its connection to urban issues, and what effects the form has on art display.
