CBC Bank Building is a heritage-listed former bank building and now residence at 21 Auckland Street, Bega, Bega Valley Shire, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1865. The property is owned by the Bega Valley Shire Council. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.^[1]

History

The building was built by Nicholas Bouquet in 1865 for the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. It is understand to have been the first bank in Bega, the first two-storey building, and the third building of substance erected in the town. It occupies a commanding position at the top of a bluff on what was once the main road entering the town from the north. The commercial centre of Bega has moved away from this area, and in recent years the building has been used as a residence.^[2]^[1]

In 1980 the Department of Education requested advice from the Heritage Council concerning the former CBC Bank which is situated within the grounds of Bega Public School.^[1]

An Interim Conservation Order was placed over the building 27 September 1985. This order was renewed on 25 September 1987. It was agreed that the order would serve to emphasise the importance of this heritage item to the community of Bega and will ensure its future retention.^[1]

In 1987 the care, control and management of the building was transferred to Bega Valley Council.^[1]

Through the Heritage Assistance program funding was granted in 1989/1990 for the restoration of the building and reinstatement of the front verandah. A new toilet, basin and trap door were installed in 1990. Further improvements included the painting of the exterior.^[1]
