Bendigo Community Bank for Kwinana Dear friends in Wandi

A number of people from the Kwinana Community have joined together to explore the possibility of establishing a Community Bank® branch in Kwinana.

A Community Bank® is different to other bank branches – It is a locally owned and operated company, which functions as a franchise of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. When the local company begins to make a profit, the funds available after paying operating expenses will be reinvested back into the community through dividends to shareholders and grants to community groups and projects. Only 20% of the profits can be distributed to shareholders, so the majority is available for grants and sponsorships.

If we are successful establishing a Community Bank® branch in Kwinana your local community has the potential to benefit once the branch is operating profitably.

There are currently 289 Community Bank® branches Australia wide that have combined returned more than $70 million to their communities. In Western Australia, 41 Community Bank® branches have contributed over $8 million.

We are very exciting to have commenced our campaign to establish a Community Bank® branch in Kwinana, and are currently inviting local community members to pledge their support by indicating the amount they intend to invest in the local community company that will be formed to operate the branch. A pledge target of $800,000 from more than 300 local people has been set, and already more than $70,000 has been pledged. This is a very promising start to the campaign.

No money is required at this stage, as pledges are simply used to gauge the level of support for the project. If there is sufficient support a Feasibility Study will be completed before we consider issuing a prospectus to raise the working capital required for this venture.

We would love the opportunity to share with you the benefits a Community Bank® branch could bring to Kwinana. The Steering Committee and I are keen to make presentations to as many groups as possible and I encourage you to contact me so we can arrange a suitable time for your group. For further information or to organise an appropriate time to discuss the Community Bank® concept, please do not hesitate to contact me on the numbers below.

Alternatively, if you wish to pledge your support for this fantastic community initiative, please find attached a copy of the pledge form.

I would also like to inform you that we will soon launch our website, Kwinana Community Project which will help you to find details on the current progress of the campaign, upcoming events and other general information.

Thank you for your time and for supporting the campaign to establish our very own Community Bank® branch in Kwinana.

Kind Regards

John Iriks
