Collection Name J S Battye Library of West Australian History Private Archives – Collection Listing MN 1332 Acc 1906A, 4785A; 4171A, 6096A, 6971A BOANS LTD, 1895 -1986 Brothers Harry and Benjamin Boan left their store in Broken Hill, NSW in the gold rush days of the 1890s and opened a department store in Wellington Street, Perth, in November 1895. The Boans’ paid £42 for each foot of frontage when Wellington Street was little more than a swamp. In 1906 the property was extended along Wellington Street, and in 1912 extended through to Murray Street. In 1918 its name was changed to Boans Ltd. The elevators and famous marble staircase were installed in 1936. It was during the 1930s that Harry Boan was joined by his son, Frank. In 1958 the company opened the first department store, known as the Waverley Store, outside the city, on the Albany Highway, Cannington. A store was opened in Bunbury in 1960 and in Morley, on the site of W.A.'s first shopping centre, in 1961. In 1962 the mezzanine floor was added to the city store. A store at Cottesloe followed in 1964, Albany in 1966 and Melville and Innaloo in 1967. By 1969 Boan’s despatch centre dealt with 1000 orders a day - the Perth City store having a very well patronised grocery department. No order was considered too small to deliver. At this time the company was the largest private employer in WA with 2467 employees, 1873 being in the city store. In 1985 Boans Ltd was taken over by the Melbourne based Myer Emporium Ltd., with the name “Boans” retained, however, the store names later changed to “Myer”. On 12 April 1986 the city store closed and the building was demolished, but not without public outcry. The new Myer Emporium was built on the same site, as part of the Forrest Chase development.

  • The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION
    Mr John Shawcross 92 Macrae Street Applecross WA 6160 July 20th 2005 The Productivity Commissioners PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO HISTORIC HERITAGE Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this inquiry. I make my submission as a private citizen. While it is difficult to prove with hard facts, I have no doubt that where we choose to conserve our historic heritage, the economic, environmental and social benefits far outweigh the costs. Conversely, the lack of care of Australia's historic heritage over the last 40 years has had a disastrous effect on the environment of our central cities, towns and suburbs. Demolition of historic buildings and streetscapes which gave our cities and towns a high level of amenity has been driven by a taste for the ‘shiny and new’, and a belief that new buildings were automatically cheaper, more profitable and more efficient. In so many cases however, the demolished structures have been replaced by low- quality modern buildings that are ugly, poorly designed, inhospitable to pedestrians and ‘city life’ generally, and of poor durability. Short-term and unimaginative thinking has dominated the investment decisions that have driven this kind of development. It has diminished the environment of Australia's cities and towns, and it has also undermined the long term social and economic attractiveness of many areas for investment, business-migration and people. Some may say that this is unimportant, because in reality investment has simply moved elsewhere in the Australian marketplace. Instead of high quality main streets we have high levels of investment in amortizable office space, suburban shopping malls, suburban cinemas, entertainment megaplexes (casinos, convention centres, stadiums, etc), chain stores and so on.
