CBA started construction 1915; completed 1916; so, indeed, the vacant block is likely late 1914, early 1915 …

I suspect the date is somewhere in the range late 1913-early 1914...the period when construction work on the new Commonwealth Bank building was in abeyance...
Kensington Chambers, the building that occupied the SE cnr of Pitt/Moore Sts was demolished in ca. April-June 1913...it appears to have been mostly demolished at the time of the foundation stone laying ceremony for the new Commonwealth Bank building, which took place on 14th May, 1913. Some excavation work for the new Commonwealth Bank building was completed by October 1913...but due to delays in the tendering process, the building contract wasn't awarded until November 1913 (to Phippard Bros)...the building work proper began in ca. February 1914...the new Commonwealth Bank building was more or less complete by mid 1916...the official opening took place on 22nd August, 1916...

trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/165000525 - the Sydney Mail, 25th October, 1905...this Sydney Mail pic looks to have been taken a few minutes later...
The Sydney Mail's caption: 'Wethers moving quietly into the shearing shed. The mob is led by a pet sheep, which is used as a decoy.'
On p. 1058 the Sydney Mail states that most of the pics that appeared in its 'Harvesting the Golden Fleece' pictorial were taken at Belltrees station, near Scone, in the Upper Hunter Valley, in NSW...so that might be the location...
These other Kerry & Co pics appeared in the Sydney Mail 'Harvesting the Golden Fleece' pictorial
