Bingham was involved in heritage and planning matters relating to the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) in Sydney during the 1980s. As an Alderman of the City of Sydney, he participated in council processes associated with the building’s restoration, including matters considered by committees overseeing the redevelopment and leasing of the QVB.[2] Council minutes from the period record his involvement in matters relating to the Queen Victoria Building Restoration Committee and associated planning activities.[3]
In later commentary on heritage planning, Bingham observed that the Queen Victoria Building had not previously been widely recognised as a heritage item, reflecting changing attitudes toward heritage conservation in Sydney.[4]
