It was created in 1953 for the businessman and public servant, Sir Clive Baillieu, the son of the Australian financier and politician William Baillieu.
Following up on his involvement in the 1905 founding of Zinc Corporation Ltd. at the Broken Hill Ore Deposit in New South Wales, Baillieu worked with W.S. Robinson and Sir Colin Fraser to reorganise the Broken Hill Associated Smelters at Port Pirie and brought about the formation and development of the Electrolytic Zinc Company in Risdon, Tasmania.
