No longer a stub, but still a pretty rough article. There's a lot of scope for documenting this amazing building. The clocks, the many displays, a detailed look at the architecture. The history, especially the more recent developments that saw it change from a poorly-maintained shell to the glittering showpiece of today. Pete 10:33, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of history; I think this was one of the key structures involved in the student heritage protests and eventually strikes by building workers to prevent its demolition wasn't it? I think the Sydney town hall was another. I don't know much about it but it's always sounded like a heck of a story. Post War Aus was (is) dominated by developers. Ocassions when they are stopped are quite interesting. MuJoCh 20:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current retail environment

This article could really do with a section on the current retail environment in the QVB. It really is a different environment to go shopping compared to any of the Westfields or similar malls around Sydney, or even the CBD ones like Wintergardens etc. --Garrie 04:55, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ipoh

Why there's no mention of Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company that restored QVB to its original glory?

In 1984 it was completely refurbished as a shopping centre, with more than 200 shops. The renovations, by the Malaysian company Ipoh Garden Berhad, were highly imaginative and thoughtful. Most important, they retained the turn-of-the-century charm of the building.
