Description of series
Scope
The Bank Premises Department series contains records relating to the purchase, construction and maintenance of buildings owned or leased by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia between 1912 and 1959. Many of the earliest records in this series date from shortly after the creation of the Commonwealth Bank in 1911 and relate to the Bank’s search for and acquisition of premises in its early years of operation. The series ends in 1959 when the Reserve Bank Act 1959 separated the Commonwealth Bank’s central banking functions from its commercial banking functions. As part of this separation, the Bank Premises Department was merged into the newly created Establishment Department within the Reserve Bank of Australia. The final record in this series contains documents relating to the allocation of space in order to allow the Commonwealth Bank and the Reserve Bank of Australia to both work within existing Bank premises immediately after separation.
The records in this series relate to the everyday work of obtaining and maintaining premises for the Bank. The majority of the documents captured are correspondence relating to purchasing or leasing buildings or rooms and the construction, remodelling and alteration of these premises. The documents most frequently found in these records are:
- correspondence with the Department of Works
- correspondence with architects and contractors
- correspondence with real estate agents and solicitors
- correspondence with tenants
- specifications
- plans
- estimates and statements of costs and expenses.

Biographical/historical notes
In the early years of the Bank, decisions about the premises were made by the Governor, Sir Denison Miller, or the Deputy Governor, James Kell. These two men, assisted by a staff of administrative officers, were responsible for the central administration of the Bank, policymaking and more important day-to-day matters.
The Bank Premises Department was established in 1929 and Clyde McGrouther was appointed as its Superintendent. McGrouther was the only person to hold this position, remaining Superintendent for the entirety of the Department’s 30-year existence.
In 1938, the Bank Premises Committee was formed to handle small and detailed matters rather than these being brought before the Commonwealth Bank Board. The Committee consisted of the Deputy Governor, the Chief Inspector, the Chief Savings Bank Superintendent and the Secretary, and was assisted by the Premises Officer. It was tasked to fully investigate all proposals for expenditure in connection with the Bank Premises Department and to make recommendations thereon. The Committee continued to exist after the Commonwealth Bank Board was abolished in 1945.
In November 1947, premises administration was decentralised to the capital of each state. Premises matters were entrusted to a Premises Officer, who was responsible to the Chief State Officer. In the large states, technical staff such as Works Supervisors, Chief Technicians and Clerks of Works were appointed under the supervision of the Bank Premises Officer. Overall control remained centralised at Head Office for planning, policy and authorisation of expenditure.
In 1960, the Bank Premises Department was merged with the Staff Department and the Advertising Department to create the Establishment Department. This brought together all activities relating to staff, premises and staff publications under one department.
