Following the May launch of an Information Centre in Kinglake to help locals affected by the Black Saturday bushfires‚ the Hurstbridge & Districts and Diamond Creek Community Bank® Branches have opened a new branch of Bendigo Bank.
The branch is located at 1 Glenburn Road Kinglake and is open between 11am and 5pm three days a week on Monday’s‚ Wednesday’s and Friday’s.
An official launch is planned for Saturday 25 July at 10.30am.
Hurstbridge & Districts and Diamond Creek Community Bank® Chairman‚ Barry Henwood‚ said the company has donated more than $200‚000 to help bushfire affected communities and an estimated $80‚000 to establish the initial Information Centre.
“All this has been made possible by the incredible support over the last eight years of our local customers‚ which includes people living in Kinglake.
“Around 80 percent of our profits are directed back in to the local community and with your continued custom we will be able to increase assistance and support to Kinglake people‚” Mr Henwood said.
Hurstbridge & Districts Community Bank® Branch Manager‚ Dion Shirley‚ said the new branch provides a full range of banking services and products‚ as well as information for those affected by the bushfires on cash assistance programs.
