History
Elmore Community Bank® Branch
A preliminary public meeting was held to discuss the Community Bank® concept
and the steps required to establish a Community Bank® Branch of Bendigo Bank at
Elmore.
A committee was formed in September 2002 to evaluate the proposal and was briefed
by Bendigo Bank in mid-October 2002.
Following a significant amount of interest in February 2003‚ Elmore invited Lockington
to become part of their committee and jointly campaign for branches in Elmore and
Lockington.
As a result‚ the committee appointed an independent consultant to feasibility study in
relation to the proposal.
The results of the feasibility study were presented to the committee at a meeting held
on Wednesday‚ 18 June 2003 and it was unanimously voted to proceed towards the
establishment of Elmore/Lockington & Districts Community Bank® Branches.
Elmore officially opened its branch on 3 December 2003.
Lockington’s branch will be opened in early 2004.
